Re: sbc head gasket installation
I now use Permatex spray copper coat. You can use "high temp aluminum" paint, but it seems to have been "reformulated" recently, and it does not work as well. That's why I switched to the copper coat about 4 years ago, after using the "High temp aluminum" paint for decades.

Re: sbc head gasket installation
Depends who makes the gasket. Using GM 711 gaskets, I always put them on dry (and have re-used them in a pinch with no problems). They are already coated with a special paint. If the head and/or deck were broach machined, it may be a benefit.
