He runs racing gas, It is a high compression but he also tears the engine apart pretty often. When I asked him about a copper head gasket he said he has always had trouble with them. He told me they leak, pain to deal with the sealant supplied, and they cost more than what he spends on felpro gaskets. He said that a good head gasket should be able to hold a higher compression on a 1.6
