What type of Head gasket sealer do you use when you work on a Head? [Reply]   [No Email]

Depends of why I am using it. I have never seen a head walk on a block if sealer is used. I have taken engines appart where no sealer was used and the head gaskets were warn 1/16" into the block. If they start moving they can make a big mess in a hurry.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Actually I have used the spray-on copper coat on one lungers when I just pop the head to take a peek and reuse the gasket. Joe   [Reply]  [No Email]
