well I called jim at sce cometic gaskets he recommended a copper gasket 3.75bore .043 thick ... $132.00 each ..... 2 months to make . they would NOT require studs OR o ring As long as good mating surfaces.
they do not have anything in a small bore composite gasket.

I’m going to say pass on the copper gaskets.

They are a ***** to seal oil and water. If you run a 16 pound radiator cap it will find places to breach the gasket and it will leak.

Same with oil pressure. Even if they are embossed. I wouldn’t chance it. I may try it IF I was using Evan’s coolant because it doesn’t make water pressure.

That would help with the water leaks but nothing for oil leaking.

I would call Cometic and use those.
