Got the one notch MLS gasket like 16 hours after I ordered it.
I've never seen anything like this before -- literally multiple thin layers of steel not fully bonded? Was surprised at first and thought it was delaminated. I also noticed there are no additional gaskets around oil holes or anything.
Should I add any additional sealant to the gasket? Hylomar spray? Hylomar tube? Going to install this weekend!
I do a very light coating of hylomar spray (not the tube) on both surfaces of the gasket, the block, and the head.
and he means light.
Especially if you are doing the head and block too.
Don't spray the whole thing blue.
Hylomar doesn't harden and will spread/squeeze out when torqued.
I Second on the go light spray with it. You don't need a gob of it, just a very light coat.
Make that VW engine feel like a Royal Royce. Just add Hylomar.

You know I looked back at some old threads and saw your testimonial on using hylomar, but I couldn't be sure you meant on MLS gaskets too.
Thanks again everyone -- I'll do a light spray on everything and bolt everything up!
Appreciate y'all.
