Description

92mm Copper Head Gasket – .032" for Wildcat 460 & Big Block Clone Engines


Upgrade your big block build with this high-performance 92mm Copper Head Gasket, specifically designed for the Wildcat 460 and other 92mm bore big block clone engines. Precision-cut from durable copper and measuring .032" thick, this gasket helps raise compression compared to standard fiber or multi-layer steel gaskets—making it a smart choice for racers and performance engine builders.


To maximize sealing performance, copper head gaskets require a stainless steel o-ring in the cylinder head and/or block to properly indent the gasket surface. This creates a high-pressure seal essential for maintaining compression under high-load conditions. Without o-ringing, the risk of cylinder seal failure increases significantly.


Ideal for high-compression builds, drag racing engines, and modified karting setups, this gasket delivers durability, tunability, and improved combustion efficiency.


Key Features:

  • Fits 92mm Bore Big Block Clone Engines: Including Wildcat 460 and similar models
  • .032" Thickness: Increases compression over standard gaskets
  • Copper Construction: Excellent heat conductivity and durability
  • Designed for O-Ringed Blocks/Heads: Requires a stainless steel o-ring for proper sealing
  • Race-Proven Design: Ideal for high-compression, high-output small engine applications

FAQ

Q1: What engines is this gasket compatible with?
A: It’s designed for 92mm bore big block clone engines, including the Wildcat 460, and other similar GX390-style performance engines.


Q2: What is the benefit of using a .032" copper head gasket?
A: The thinner copper material raises compression compared to OEM or composite gaskets, enhancing performance and combustion efficiency in racing applications.


Q3: Do I need to o-ring my head or block to use this gasket?
A: Yes. To ensure a reliable seal and prevent combustion leaks, either the cylinder head or engine block must be o-ringed with stainless steel wire to indent the copper gasket properly.


Q4: Can I use this gasket without o-ringing?
A: It's not recommended. Without proper o-ringing, you risk losing cylinder pressure and encountering head sealing issues, especially in high-compression builds.


Q5: Is this gasket reusable?
A: While copper gaskets can sometimes be annealed and reused in professional settings, it’s best to treat them as single-use components for consistent sealing and performance.
