Supposedly in about 10 weeks a run of about 350 copper head gaskets are going to be available…
Anyone confirm this?

...the price will be very high...

Looks like the old man will continue using the East Shore MT-100. No problem. It's been fine so far. :)

Last year I tried to contact several gasket makers - The only one that seemed able to respond was https://gasketstogo.com The conversation was worthwhile (even provided graphics of one to them) and the production numbers he quoted were about what is being discussed. I would have proceeded on my own but ensuring accuracy was going to be a costly and time consuming venture. The company is in Thailand, so distance import export etc etc nixed it for me.
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

What is "very" high? This auction ends in about 13 hours and is over $200, plus shipping.

Wow! Tonight I'm probably going to list on eBay the 3 gaskets that I have!
