There is a series of videos from Cold War Motors (a Canadian junkyard) where they got an old Buick and a '53 (maybe) Packard running. The Packard has a stuck engine which they got loose and a bad spot or 2 in the copper head gasket. Guy took the gasket and straightened out the bad place(s) and reinstalled it. He reported no leaks.


I was wondering about the coating, or lack thereof.


Which may be why my Deluxe has a green spot that doesn't match its Packard green on the side of the head. One more damned thing to look into.
