[Chuck Sea/Tac]

I’ve always done it dry. Head warm to touch, retorque, let it cool, add coolant drive it, retorque again. This was especially true with the black felpro gaskets. Which I personally liked. I still do it with the Best gaskets. It works for me. You can do it anyway you like. I understand there’s several roads to Chicago. Important thing is to get there. I know of many engines that this procedure was followed, with no problems. Anyone with real life experience/proof of damaged caused from this procedure??
