[@davelowets]

There's no need to "bake blocks", but there IS a need to heat up the entire engine to retorque the head studs after the 1st torqueing. Also, an oven wouldn't get a copper head gasket hot enough to properly anneal them. They need to get cherry red during the process, and an oven won't get them that hot. You basically need an open flame on them.

[@krbruner]

I used to work for a company that made airplane deicer trucks and some of the models had this system that used a hydraulically power ATI Procharger that looked about that size, but maybe larger, that pushed air down a nozzle to blow the ice off of planes. I was told that the blast of air could blow your feet right out from under you. They were really impressive. They had a cart with an engine at the other side of the shop, where they would break the Prochargers in before installing them in the cab on the boom. When they ran them in, it sounded like a jet engine running.

The problem is gonna be the procharger not being able to supply enough air to create 25lbs of boost . The biggest procharger usually goes on a 540ish cubic inch engine . That 900 inch engine is just gonna swallow that like nothing . It will make power that sounds crazy for only 10 or 15 lbs of boost . Remember boost number is just a restriction and that bbh doesn’t have much restriction .

Copper anneals the opposite of steel. To anneal the bad head gasket, heat it up and rapidly cool it.

[@johnnydanger57]

Actually copper anneals when heated red hot, how it cools doesn't matter. A quench "will" remove some of the oxides though. Look it up if you like.

[@minigpracing3068]

Have you thought of using a thermolator used in injection molding machines for heating the engines? They heat/cool water and circulate it through molds, one might be worth looking into for engines, could double as a leak down test for gaskets as well.

[@jimmyschock9395]

in diesels they cut the gasket back for the fire ring to seal the combustion chamber, or use a single "o-ring" in the head on top of the mls sealing surface.

[@bigskunk801]

The thing about copper. When it’s worked or bent or rolled etc. it naturally hardens. So a thick slab of copper rolled to a few MM will be harder than a thinner slab rolled into the same thickness. That’s why copper pipes, wire are made in the foundry.

Steve, just a thought but would it be beneficial to build a room with infrared panels angled at the block from the top, sides, and the bottom to heat the block? The thought is the room would help to build heat in the block faster and have less lost to the surrounding air.

[@beforebefore]

Do the head gasket recessed receiving rings on the block - have to be wider than the raised rings on the heads... to account for the added thickness of the copper gasket? It seems that if they aren't wider, you would end up shearing the copper - instead of just displacing it.
