[quote=panic]Suggest you do some research on this one

http://books.google.com/books?id=gsgQMTs...20paint&f=false I suppose the type & brand of gasket will determine yay or nay as mentioned in the above info. Permatorque by FelPro recommends no sealer as it is included in the manufacturing process. To assemble a bare metal gasket and rely on the pressure and friction between the assembled pieces to continually seal after many heat cycles is a gamble at best. I'm not saying it can't be done, but why take the chance when a low cost item like a can of spray sealer or VHT aluminum paint would certainly be cheap insurance. A lot of folks who build engines for a living swear by it. I guess you know where I'd place my bet.
