I got my Head back from the Machine Shop today. I am going to put it on tomorrow . Any tips or Advice on Gasket sealing ? I have used other sealant on the motor with my Gaskets . I dont know what works best for you guys to assure the Head will not leak into the water ports ? I sure dont wanna see antifreeze in my Oil.

Thanks ...

This comes directly out of 1974 Motors repair manual. I have used this method for many years after a couple of engines I rebuilt had a water seepage on the head gasket. Had no problems with that problem since...

Cylinder Head Replace

Notes

Before installing cylinder head, wipe off engine block gasket surface
And be certain no foreign material has fallen into cylinder bores, bolt
holes or in the valve lifter area. It is good practice to clean out bolt with compressed air. Some cylinder head gaskets are coated the special lacquer to provide
a good seal once the parts have warmed up. Do not use any additional
sealer on such gaskets. If the gasket does not have this lacquer coating
apply suitable sealer to both sides Tighten cylinder head bolts at a little at a time in three step in the
sequence shown in the illustration. Final tightening should be to the
torque specification listed in the engine tightening table. After the bolts have been torqued to specifications, they should not be disturbed.

In instances where cylinder head gasket leakage is hard to control,
aluminum paint can be applied to the gasket as a sealer.

Spray one coat of the aluminum paint on both sides of the gasket
and allow the paint to dry. Then spray a second coat on both sides
and while the paint is still wet, install the gasket. Torque the head
and manifold bolts to specifications to complete job.

I like Indian Head Shellac especialy when putting used gaskets back. Never had one leak. Oh, and I've never retorqued a head in my life.

Normally you do not want to put anything on a head gasket, Put it on, torque, run it for an hour or so, then retorque the head bolts again. that should ususally take care of your concerns.

most of the time if there is a leak it comes from the head studs, i all-ways pullthem and re-tap the holes, use a pipe seal to install the studs- torque them to 20-ft pounds, then fallow the regular instalation procedger.
