Annealed copper head gasket

[@Fr331995]

You have some dam good tips. Thank you

[@williammoss1310]

Thank you SO MUCH! My dilemma was whether or not to get it red hot or not. I just slightly heated mine. Now I know.

No. Annealing is when you heat it up and let it cool down very very slowly. Not throwing down on a cold plate. Cooling it down rapidly from a heated state makes it more hard and brittle. To anneal it, heat it up like you did, then back off the torch and continue, then back off more and more and so on. You could even go further with an oven but its good enough.

Not with copper you heat it and cool it dowfast

[@Darthreloy]

@@garywhitmerwhitmer6786 Well I have torched pipe and let it sit to cool slowly, and torched pipe and accidentally let it fall over in the snow, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out what makes softer copper. Especially after working copper for 30 years in all conditions. Either way it softens but one way works better. Do whatever you want.

thanks alot! I have a copper head gasket and it's slightly warped, will this fix it? and i was planning on putting a little copper gasket spray before reinstalling it. thanks

Does the groove in the head gasket face up or down when installed? Just got a bike that was missing the gasket, so can't compare it to the old one. Thanks

It seems to me that the raised ring that comes together with such fire it back to like when new, then, has done the same in together 4-cylinder for cars or even motorbikes 4 cyl, she returned to normal after torque? Where else vídeios against her?
