I found a copper head gasket on ebay, are copper gaskets as good as the PD metal gasket?

Yes and no.

They will seal the combustion process as good as anything out there on the market and will not leak/blow, etc..

But you will probably have water leaks internally and externally as there's nothing there to seal the water passages.

My advise is to not use it.

They are best for drag racing.

They don't compress as much as the Cometic gasket or the stock headgasket. So you have to make sure the head and block are milled perfectly flat. Also has to use an anaerobic sealant with it. Once you get one of these installed correctly, they are the most durable gaskets around. Take 50-60psi boost no problem.

btw, that's yet another item in Huntley's ebay fire sale.

Funny...

Huntley is "selling" a set of Carillo rods on ebay.

What's funny about it is that the photo used is the exact same photo sent to my by Huntley when they assembled my current short block.... in which the Carillo rods were purchased directly by me from Chris Cervelli of Technodyne, in which Huntley was supposed to have installed in my current short block.

How can they be selling the same set of rods? Hmmmmmmm

Either Huntley didn't install my set of rods in my short block that I purchased, or the photo used in the ebay ad is a fake.

Take a look at my sig with the URL to my car's web site... you'll see the same photo.

i won't buy anything from Huntley even if it was 50% off how many people were left with no parts and no money when he closed shop?
