Power major head gasket

[woodcutter]

I'm nearing the end of my engine rebuild, I was wondering what every body thinks I have a copper gasket and a composite one, what would of been fitted to the power major from new? And which seals the best any advice appreciated

Both are equally as good as each other and far better than the original gasket fitted to the Power Major which was little more than a piece of shim steel.

If it were my tractor I would fit the composite gasket as this was the version used on the Super Major and in my opinion, gives better sealing characteristics, but as I said, that is my preference and either is good.
