Thread: HEAD GASKET

I sprayed mine! :D And I just drove it a few minutes ago and there's no problems at all! I'm happy!!!


And I didn't resurface the block like everyone says is a must with the metal head gasket.

uh oh... i didn't spray mine... is that a big issue?

so spray the head gasket with copper spray just the gasket or the block too
thanks for help guys

If your block and head were resurfaced true, not that big of a deal. Cross your fingers :)

I just sprayed both sides of the gasket evenly. Not sure if you should spray the head and block too...

yea i resurfaced both surfaces to be smooth like glass. that's all i was told to do...

Don't worry about it man,while that copper spry shit is better to have than to not have,it's not a big deal at all.You have a lot more chance of head failure if you don't resurface,than if you just use the magic spray.you'll be fine.

Yea just spray both sides of the gasket, and make sure the head and block surfaces are free of oil, coolant and old gasket crap.
then torque them down to factory specs, unless you are running ARP studs then its more
