Re: spoon 2 ply/copper spray (rpm9100)
I asked if Spoon recommends the use of copper spray. I would hope that for the price of Spoon products they should work right out of the box.
Second question...are you using this on a turbo car?

Re: spoon 2 ply/copper spray (Hatchblack)
With spoon gaskets you dont need to coat them.. they are already like nitrate coated..
He probably has a cheap 3 ply honda gasket that is taken apart and is using the middle..
If so then yes coat both sides with a few coats of copper spray and let it get tacky then install. That will blow if you plan on using it on a turbo motor

Re: spoon 2 ply/copper spray (Hatchblack)
yes I will be using it on a turbo car
no spoon did not recomend it, my idea for better sealing?
I have a b18c5 with je 9:1 and I want a little more compression and when my machine shop cc'ed it it was at 8.75... :1 with the stock 3 ply, now it is at 9.35:1
with the spoon gasket and .015 mill. ?????

Re: spoon 2 ply/copper spray (rpm9100)
High compression and boost is a great power making combination, but it's hard on the motor and stock Honda engines just aren't up to the challenge.
Wait until you get iron cylinders along with forged rods/pistons to raise the compression.

(JE forged slugs and eagle rods)
The compression ratio is a conservative 9.4:1 and I do't plan to boost more than 10-12psi
My original question is whether or not to coat both sides of the head gasket with copper spray or not at all.
Also I have been told that the spoon gasket seals better than the oem one???
