    Bucc and Bob, did either of the gasket materials you referenced have a metal core? I have ( from NAPA) some material that should be ideal for head gaskets called ProRamic 2499 from FelPro. It’s rated for exhaust manifolds and has a thin steel core layer with heat resistant fiber layer on each side. It’s 0.064 thick. The problem is that you will not be able to cut it with a knife, a good punch will do the bolt holes, Cutting the shapes necessities, sandwiching between two plywood/ hardboard sheets and sawing, jig saw or hole saw.

    I have not personally used it for a head gasket, but looks to be ideal.
