When fitting molossi 166 kit should the copper gasket be fitted or just the rubber seal everyone seems to have a different opinion

Measure your squish without it and then ask... you may or may not need it.

copper gasket is 70s technology. rubber o-ring is now. don't bother with copper if you can ditch it and get safe compression ratio/squish clearance.
