hotrodbanshee Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Is it better to install the cylinder base gaskets dry or coat them with some high heat copper gasket spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeper06 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 It really depends on condition of mating surfaces and how anal you are cleaning. All thes engines are getting old and it's few n far between that you find one that someone didn't jig up with a screwdriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 If it's questionable use thin film of threebond 1211 after using scotchbrite to clean and ascetone to wipe down surfaces to remove oil n contaminants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 So many variables. If anything looks questionable, just use a light film of three bond and make sure surfaces are as clean as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derpy Drifter Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Why not use some RTV black on it? Or ditch the base gasket entirely and use just the RTV. That's what I do. Gain some bottom end compression and make more power. Of course you shouldn't do this if your piston to head tolerance is low.. that could be bad lolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
