felpro makes them

if your local autoparts store doesnt have them, they should be able to get them in 24 hours or so.

if my current problem actually turns out to be a leaking head gasket or something with the heads, ill get the copper ones, ...but if the problem isnt the heads, then im keeping the .045 ones on, i doubt its worth the day and a half bs to take the heads off just to put those on.

Then again it may be worth it, i havent heard much feedback on the differences. i was just told they were better, ..no real explanation was given other then a smaller quench area.

thinner head gasket means more compression. that's the only advantage.
