High-performance engines depend on a leak-free seal. For cars that have high compression ratios and combustion pressures, a standard gasket may not be enough to keep the engine running at its best. When the head gasket or other gasket fails, engine compression can drop, causing the engine to lose power or run rough. So what type of gasket is best for high-performance engines?

Gaskets for high-performance engines must be able to withstand high pressures and temperatures without cracking or burning. They must also create a good seal. Copper is a soft metal that is highly malleable and able to form around other objects easily. Solid copper is often used as gasket materials in today’s high-performance engines.
