steel head gasket

Ed Wright · 07-23-2014, 07:53 AM

I have not seen a factory deck surface too rough to seal a steel gasket. Here in this area (Tulsa, OK) it is the corner machine shops surfacing heads. & blocks, leaving ridges. Many have a small piece of iron, or sample of the finish their mill provides. Like it is the perfect, or desired finish. The factory machining I have seen is fine for steel gaskets.

Use Hylomar; it is one of the best sealants you can use for cylinder head gaskets.

Although Permatex has their own licensed version, I prefer the original brushable product from Hylomar, Part Number HUBA02.
