Head Gasket Dressing? was created by BARNEYHYPHEN
What's the concensus on using or not using some form of dressing when fitting a new head gasket?

Using a new gasket(s), as supplied in the full gasket kit from jeff (Z1) on 1015 block with 903 head and 10:1 compression ratio.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

If pro is opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?

Hey Patmann, I always said, "don't listen to Patmann". come on guys, who's for some head gasket dressing. How about that real good looking copper stuff? Any takers?

I used Gask-a-cinch on all gaskets when I rebuilt my topend.

I get it at the small local british twin / ducati dealer, but I've seen it at the motorcycle megastore as well... It's cheap and it works. I used some crazy Caterpillar goop from one of my buddies for the aluminum cam plugs, probably very similar to Threebond.
