I saw Ocean Pro copper head gaskets that are .030" thick. What advantage is this? Do you guy recommend the use of them?

Copper gaskets seal better than fiber or composite, and are usually reuseable. There are companies doing custom cut gaskets, it's a race application thing.SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.

But why so thick? Any benifit for stock engine?Comment

I don't recall what the stock thickness is. If that's over stock, it could be users on decked cylinders, or a shaved head I suppose.SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.

I think some also use them to 'index' their plugs.Comment

That is done with washers under the plugs, not gaskets under the heads.SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.
