Update - Cub Head Gasket

Posted by Red Raider on January 02, 2001 at 14:43:54 from (208.188.27.72):

I was able to stop the coolant weeping from around the head gasket by using copper spray sealant from Permatex and coating the head bolts lightly with high temperature RTV. Steps: 1-chased threads, 2-cleaned threads, 3-RTV on bolt threads, 4-coated gasket on both sides, block, and head, 5-let dry to slightly tacky, 6-assembly, 7-filled with coolant. After 3 hours the gasket area is still dry. I hope it holds up after I start it for the first time. Thanks for the suggestions.
