mike..., that sounds like a good idea really, but it seems like it would possibly scratch up the deck surface around the cylinders.....decks have a nice smooth finish, looks like 90 RA to me, give or take 10. if you know a way to cut them post it up please, i like the idea of running copper, just concerned about water leaks mainly, they are the absolute best for sealing high cylinder psi, thats been proven, i have heard mostly good things about cometics, and not many leaking issues overall, thanks
bob....good to hear from you, been a while brother...wondering if you remember if Kenny D used stainless or copper rings with the 1026 gaskets, seems like copper ring would work better against the stainless fire ring of the gasket than stainless maybe...?? if you remember let me know, thanks, rob
