They allowed Buick Big Block enthusiasts to use a composite head gasket with high compression and high horsepower combinations. Until that point it was necessary to use Copper gaskets and O-rings, which are not known for being user friendly, especially when used on street driven vehicles. In 2004 TA Performance released the next generation of the Orange Crush Technology, which is actually a white color. The original manufacturer that was producing the Orange Crush exclusively for TA Performance, was acquired by another company. The first reason for the color change is that white is the new companys standard color. The second reason is the white material is an evolution of the orange, both have the same sealing qualities, yet the white is less prone to sticking during tear down making the preparation process for re-assembly easier. Close-up TA 1725 Series Copper Head Gaskets Available as Special Order: Copper Head Gaskets that install without o-ring receiver grooves in the block, special sealants, or extra hassle. These gaskets incorporate a new integral combustion seal (Fire Ring) designed to withstand the punishment of real racing engines. Built in coolant seals eliminate leaks around water passages. Available in .032, .043, .050, .062, .072, .080, .093 thicknesses. Call for pricing information. TA 1723B
