I am in process of replacing my M38 head gasket. Before I order new gaskets, I would like to know if there are benefits to buying a copper gasket, the one coming out appears to be aluminum over asbestos. It has been in there 25 years. Thanks, Don
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
Some people prefer copper of composite. However it is much more costly. I dont have any issues with either sealing.

Is it copper on both sides? If it's only on one side which side goes down to the engine block. Thanks Jax

Should I use a gasket cement such as permatex type 2 or is it not needed for the copper cylinder head gasket?
WIllys Jeep Parts Tech:
Yes, a thin layer of sealant shouldn't hurt. A lot of people don't use it with the copper.
