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.
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.
