    Copper head gasket

    The head gasket for my 1951 elgin 16 (2 cylinder) needs replacing and are non existent. This head gasket has the metal ring (goes around cyllinder bore) infused to the gasket. Since they are unobtanium, what about making a copper head gasket of the ssme thickness?

    Notice the beveled sides of the bearing. These might have been used over many models over many years.
