Title: Installation of head gasket 1.6l NA...
Post by: monst on January 08, 2014, 07:50:09 pm

So I was talking with someone
they mentioned installing the Headgasket....
and actually using paint on both sides of the gasket....
just your normal run of the mill spray paint.... let it dry and
then install.....

   I have used copper tack on intake gaskets in gassers..

So just wondering how people like to install head gaskets on
diesels....   DRY?     Paint?   some other spooge?
     another 3m product???????
Thanks, Monst
