Two Stroke Cylinder Gaskets
(OP)
Are there any materials that are better than copper alloy when used as a gasket in a motorcycle engine cylinder? Preferably something softer or more ductile than copper, but with the same heat resistant properties.

Another issue- some air cooled engines use a head gasket with metal facings. There is more movement between the head and block in an air cooled engine, even more so with an aluminum head and iron block, that a composition gasket can get torn up if it doesn't have the sheet metal over the composition core.

for base gasket, a rubber covered aluminum gasket.
