do you guys use any kind of coper spray or any other kind of sealer on your head gaskets this is on a 83mm gsr engine head gasket is a oem honda cut to 83mm

 

all these views and no answer somebody has to have something to say

 

I tried copper spray and blew the headgasket. Replaced the headgasket and changed the headstuds and haven't had a problem yet. I'm not sure if something was wrong with the old ARP's, but it seems more likely that the copper spray may have been the culprit.

 

i always use copper spray on metal gaskets.... i mean why not, u know?

 

whats going on every one?

well if your going to use a copper spray why dont you look in to sce head gaskets. they have a copper head gasket called the sce titan head gasket, it is a self sealing with a biult in o-ring in it. in return you do not have to get the head or block o-ringed and here is there web site if you want to take a look at it.

as long as you spray evenly and don't let it run, you should be okay. Copper spray
