Default Re: Head Gasket

Graphite doesn't bond. It is an excellent high temperature lubricant. If your head is in good condition, flat and not warped, and without cracks I would recommend using a copper gasket. The key to making a Model A gasket not leak is to torque, torque, and retorque the head frequently after installation. Doing this is key to preventing leaking.
