The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Head Gasket Leak

I'm not a fan of using gasket sealer, especially on head gaskets. If'n the head and block are both good and a good gasket is used there should be no problem. I have occasionally used silver (aluminum) spray paint on head gaskets, but not as a general rule.
It's your engine, do as you see fit.
