    Hey guys, just 'bout ready to bolt down the heads on a S.co.t. blown flatead motor I'm building. Gonna use copper head gaskets, and was wondering if any of you guys have used these, and if you put them on "dry" or with some kind of "sealant". Thanks

    Hey thanks guys, I used silver paint on "steel shim" head gaskets years ago, worked great. Nice to hear it works with the copper too. I'll try and post a few pics soon. Thanks again:cool:

    Spray copper coat from auto store parts always worked for me.
