I've never used Cometic head gaskets. Any pointers for installing them for the best results?

This is for a boosted application with aluminum heads. Heads and block are new and ready to bolt together.


I've also read where some say to use some gasket spray type adhesive and some don't use it. Any and all advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Terry

 

do you have a link to where you read about the spray adhesive. the cometics i have this will be the third time bolting them down and also the third head and im not sure if im pushing it?

 

I have never used the spray if the gasket is brand new only if I'm re-using it.

 

where is this spray you speak of

:cracksopenbeer:

 

Auto parts store.

Pop quiz can you make it to A&E in 17 mins? Cause I can!

 

i dont have the "DANGER RANGER" i cant make it that fast

 

I've used copper spray for re-use. but always put on dry the first time. Make sure you've got the correct RA on your head for MLS gaskets.

 

I used copper spray on my install. But I also didnt have head studs. Alot of guys on theturboforums.com use copper spray for the first time.

 

can i get copper spray at any normal parts store?

 

yep, permatex copper spray, in a copper colored spray can.
