Head Gasket

Recommended Posts

Scary, actually bolting things back on the car.

I'm used to putting grease on head gaskets as I understand it helps them creep/settle, but then I'm used to old cars with copper/asbestos gaskets. I see the Haynes manual states assemble dry. I was thinking of putting grease on the metal ring sections for the liner to head area. Any thoughts anyone?

no

 

assemble dry. jobs a good un.

 

as long as your head/block is smooth and true and you crank it down evenly and carefully, it will be all good.

As said all dry and oil free as the gasket will self seal, I use the Molly grease that come's with the ARB bolt's (Any molly grease is fine) to go on the headbolts to try and stop the steel and alloy interaction
