Default Re: Head gasket?

[QUOTE=Y-Blockhead;1952022][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]Just curious. When you spray copper cote on your gasket what do you do about the overhang of the gasket due to the 5.5 head being physically smaller than a stock head/head gasket? I suppose you could mask it off?

Not that much of it that shows and it hasn't been an issue to me.

Your copper spray irritates me. We have copper spray as assembly grease (it doesn't dry) or copper lacquer (it doesn't slide).
I don't loosen them first. Others do.

Brent, perhaps I will install my next head without using the copper coat.
