farmall M head gasket problem

I bought a new head gasket for my M , on it it says to put sealer by a bolt hole and to retork. My question is do I put sealer on all bolt hole areas or just the one ? Do all bolts need sealer like a car motor? My book tells me nothing on sealer for the head gasket, just tork specs. I thought that head gaskets didnt get sealer , just bolts?
 

Spray both sides of the head gasket with spray cooper and torque it down. Retorque after running awhile.

I have never sealer around the studs. The spray cooper fills in all the imperfections in the surfaces. I spray each side twice and let it tack up before installing.


You will find that alot of people spray them with the cooper. Never had my Super M leak !
 
14 Ms that Ive rebuilt, never a drop of ANY kind of sealer on them! Come to think of it, I dont think theres ever been one I retorqued that wasnt on the money when I did it. Just my experience.
