Hi Curt,
Too often when I try to reuse an ugly old gasket, it fails
and I end up kicking myself for being lazy. McMaster-Carr
has a wide selection of copper sheet, as well as a variety
of gasket material. For that matter, Chuck Balyeat sells
head gasket material. Check out this and his other engine
goodies here:
