Re: Head gasket sealant
Are they new shim gaskets or reused gaskets with copper coat ?

I remember dad using aluminum paint sometimes too when he didn't have copper coat. Seemed to work pretty well too. |

Re: Head gasket sealant
Copper coat has worked well for me. 12 to 1 and 175 HP nitrous. No problems

Re: Head gasket sealant
Sounds like you need to check the deck and head surfaces to make sure they are flat. Typically copper coat and shim gaskets is a good combo if everything is smooth and flat.
