Greetings!

Slightly off-topic...

I have a 2hp upright International Famous engine that has been recently
re-restored.  In the process, the original 1907 head gasket was accidentally
tossed out.  I made a replacement using the "thick paper" type material, but
it didn't work. (water in oil).

The original appeared to be a thick white fiber, so I'm guessing asbestos
based?  Any thoughts on a solid material (not something out of a tube)...
I've seen "compressed ceramic fiber" and "graphite impregnated steel"
materials online, but never having used this type of stuff, I'd like any
hints/ideas etc. y'all might have.

Thanks!
Tony
