"The (mis)use of gasket sealers (Copper Kote, et/al) often hinders the thermal expansion & contraction of the gasket which will affect fastener torque ratings being met."

Brent, are you saying not to use any gasket sealant on a new head gasket?
What gasket do you recomend for Snyders 5.5 head ? Thanks !Mike
