Just bolt it on, but make sure both the head and block surfaces are clean of any old leftover gasket and any oils, etc.

If you use a gasket scraper be sure not to scratch the mating surface

gasket dressing doesnt hurt either...fills in all the imperfections and surface irregularities..

Copper spray is your friend.

Well guys I called the dealer and they told me not to put anything on the gasket and just bolt it on and thats what i exactly did. I didn't use any copper spray or anything on the head gasket i just bolted it on as is. Hope everything works out. Thanks for your help.

I just wash the gasket and the deck surfaces before installing the dowels and gasket.
