I have a 1970 JD 4000 with a gas engine. I am replacing the intake, exhaust and rocker arm cover gaskets. What is a good gasket sealer that I can use on these gaskets? I purchased my new gaskets from my local JD dealer. I also need to replace the head gasket on my 4010 diesel. Should a sealer be used on the head gasket? If so what sealer should I use? I posted my first message on the discussion board not knowing this forum was offered. I am a old person but a new student to this service. Thank You

From being in the engine rebuilding business
for the last 30 years , gasket manufacturers
reccomend that you use nothing on a head gasket
as they are already coated and there is a possibility
that what you add will not be compatable with what
is there. As for the other gaskets , nothing is required but for ease of installation Hy tack or K & W
copper coat is handy . Spray and let dry for a few minutes untill tacky. K & W copper coat works
well , other brands do not have the sticky qualities.
