I guess I'm pretty much from the don't-put-sealers-on-head-gaskets
school of thought. But in Guzziology, Dave R. sez that they use
Permatex 300 gasket sealer (doesn't harden) when they install head
gaskets. When I got my heads back from the machine shop, the heads did
not need to be flattened (but the valve guides were out by about .008" ).
Don't much relish the thought of having the head gaskets leak if I
don't use sealer, but if I don't need the stuff, I'd rather not use it.
What has been the experience on this list of using sealers on Eldo head gaskets?
