Copper base gasket

[sjwh]

I'm rebuilding the top end on my '02 blaster and I'm interested in opinions on these copper base gaskets before I go ahead and buy one.

Has anyone else used one?

Are they worth the money?

Is there anything else I should know?

Copper can be reused multiple times as stated in their selling pitch, but it must be annealed each time you reuse it.

Copper heat and work hardens.

Unless you need a special thickness gasket to help with port timing, go with OEM or Cometic, never paper gaskets.
