Aluminum paint to seal head gaskets?
Hi,
I purchased a set of head gaskets from Summit for a cheapo 307 rebuild. (steel shim teflon coated gaskets). The instructions say to spray aluminum paint on the side that faces the block. I never heard of this before, is this really necessary? If so, what kind of aluminum paint? Maybe VHT flame-proof aluminum header paint? Or is there a special paint that actually has aluminum impregnated in it?
Thanks for your input.Last edited by 63BoxNova; 07-31-2009 at 02:46 PM.
