Copper? 420a? I doubt it. But maybe I'm wrong.
There are some for the 4g63 though.

BUMP

Not seeing a copper hg for the 420a, though I'm sure you could have one made.

Stock is MLS which is quite good as long as your block and head surfaces are within spec and have a good R/A finish, why are you wanting a copper one?

To conform for a better seal.

The stock HG will seal fine. If it's a turbo car you should put ARP studs in it to help hold the head down. The stock HG has help up fine on plenty of builds. There is no reason to upgrade unless you have a good reason.

Agreed. As long as the finish is correct, a stock MLS gasket is perfectly fine. Getting a copper gasket to "conform" for a better seal just means proper prep work was not done for a head gasket in the first place.

If you must have a copper gasket, Cometic or Titan should be able to make you a custom one.

I was just stating why some people prefer them, not accusing anyone of anything.
