Hi all,I am putting the head back on the 48 with a new gasket.According to previous posts it is recommended to paint the gasket and head w/ rustoleum before installation.What is the purpose,and I dont add any other sort of sealant?As always Thanks!!

I would say the aluminum paint is what he had in mind,I use copper coat on mine,remember to re-torque after 20-30 minutes of run-time or you'll get to replace it again..

I think it was Rustoleum aluminum paint. Might be a good idea if you have had problems w/ leaks. I install mine dry.

i don't know the purpose of rustoleum on the head gasket. probably won't hurt.
i install mine dry with no problems.

I've never put anything on a head gasket others do to help find leaks if you have to remove it again...Dave.
