How are you sealing head now?

No sealer just very flat and smooth surfaces

you lost the head gasket?!!!!! to increase the compression? does it leak around the head now?

See now thats the first thing i Thought, But he says no leaks....I wonder if you shave off a couple of Thousands and use the gasket if that would acomplish the same results.

That's where I'm at - plus with a gasket you can do the Norman aluminum paint trip.....but hey if no gasket works - fine by me.

The thing I hate about the durn gaskets is they don't fit perfect on good studs.

He's done a few posts on it....basically coat the gasket with "cheap" (his word) aluminum paint. But it must contain aluminum flake. I got a spray can (made sure of the ingredients) even though I had a crusty old brush can....

So I just bomb canned the gasket and put it on wet. (Norman says wet or dry). So far good seal even though I'm re-using my used gasket.

I may get paranoid and buy some spare head gaskets just in case.

I guess I'm just too old for no gaskets.....I mean atleast use anerobic form a gasket or something, Metal to metal just don't sound right. But if works Great.

So pablo you shaved your Head a little?

Yes. There is a separate thread about it somewhere. I lapped it on progressively finer wet paper on glass.
