: I just had my 4 cly overhauled and I am about to put it back together. Someone told me that there is a special coating you put on the gaskets to help them seal. He said the head gasket? Is there a need for a sealing compound and is it just for the head gasket or all gaskets. : Thanks, Tony
Since most of your other gaskets are paper or cork and not under combustion pressure, gasket cement/sealer isn't really necessary if the job is done right. Unless you are using metal covered gaskets, then again use the "Copper Coat". The only time I use "glue" is when I'm replacing a pan on an engine that's already installed in the car.Hope this helps. |
