Before Gene Berg passed away, their shop was working on a copper based gasket ands machining the heads to accept it and appearantly it's working well. Unfortunately, the shop is way overloading with more money making projects and we may never see this mod come to light. Letters and calls to Gene Berg Ent. in Orange, CA may convince them to get going on this. I'm sure they are on line, but don't know the address. I spoke in person w/ Gene about the waterboxer engine back in the late 80's and he was quite high on it. I believe he thought it would tolerate 3.0 sleeves w/ no trouble and the existing head ports are huge to begin with. Hook that up to a decent cam and their Haltech FI system, and look out!!
