Thanks for all the replies to my last post. I purchased a Z aluminum head for my 24 model T. I am using a copper head gasket. Should I use copper spray sealer? I know the head and block will have different expansion rates when hot because of the dis-similar metals, aluminum and cast iron. Is this a problem when using sealer? Am I "overthinking" this? I'm leaning towards using sealer. I've had good luck with spray copper gasket sealer in the past. Any thoughts? Am I right?

Thanks!
Bill
