Description

EC Copper Head Gasket for 76mm (2.99") Tillotson Block – .032" Thick, 3" Bore


Engineered specifically for high-performance builds, the EC Copper Head Gasket is the first gasket designed to perfectly match the unique deck layout of the Tillotson 76mm block. It accounts for added material around the pushrod area, oil passage, and head bolts, delivering a more precise seal than generic gaskets—and helping you squeeze even more compression out of your build.


Unlike composite gaskets, copper head gaskets are ideal for racing engines that operate under extreme pressure and heat. This gasket not only offers superior sealing and durability, but its thin .032" profile also raises compression for more performance.


Why Choose This Gasket?

  • Custom Fit for Tillotson 76mm Block – Properly seals areas other gaskets miss
  • Increases Compression – Thin copper design enhances performance
  • Built for High-Pressure Builds – Withstands the extreme combustion forces of high-performance engines


Important Installation Note:

To ensure optimal sealing, copper head gaskets require stainless steel o-rings installed in the cylinder head and/or block. This involves precision-machining a groove to fit stainless wire that compresses against the gasket, creating a second sealing layer. O-ringing is a must for engines running high compression, or nitromethane/methanol fuels.


Specifications:

  • Material: Solid copper
  • Thickness: .032"
  • Bore Diameter: 3.00"
  • Fitment: Designed for 76mm (2.99") Tillotson or similar clone blocks

FAQ

Q1: What engines is this copper head gasket designed for?
A: Specifically crafted for Tillotson 76mm (2.99") blocks, providing a custom fit around the pushrod area, oil passages, and head bolts to ensure a superior seal.


Q2: Why choose a copper gasket over standard composite types?
A: Copper offers better durability under extreme heat and pressure. It's .032" thickness also raises compression slightly, improving power output in high-performance engines.


Q3: What is o-ringing, and is it required?
A: O-ringing is machining a groove to install a stainless steel wire that compresses the gasket edge—creating an additional seal. While not mandatory, it’s highly recommended for engines running high compression, or methanol/nitro fuels to prevent leaks.


Q4: Can I use this gasket without o-ringing?
A: Yes, but for the best sealing under extreme conditions and to prevent head lift or leaks, o-ringing is strongly advised.


Q5: What are the specifications of the gasket?
A:

  • Material: Solid copper
  • Thickness: .032"
  • Bore Diameter: 3.00" (76mm)


Q6: Will this gasket fit smaller Tillotson blocks (e.g., 68–72mm)?
A: This gasket is custom-designed for the 76mm deck height and layout. We have 70mm and 72mm bore copper gaskets available.
