sh gasket installation

I will be putting SH back together.
what sealer should be used on the water jacket covergasket? How about the oil pan gasket? does this get a sealer on this gasket? I have the coppercoat for the head gasket.

Copper coat on everything with the exception of the upper side of the oil pan gasket, as you may find you have to remove it. I usually don't put anything on the valve cover gasket either as it needs to be removed to adjust the valves. Don't tighten the cork gaskets too tight, just snug.

Hylomar Gasket Jointing Compound. It comes in a spray can. You spray both sides of the gasket [b:cf712fe887]lightly[/b:cf712fe887] and wait for the propellant to dry off. The blue residue remains plastic and seals well. A little bit goes a very long way. It is excellent for pretty well any gasket. I use it for water pump gaskets, thermostat gaskets, carburetor gaskets and cylinder head gaskets.
It does not get into galleries in the cooling system or carburetor, so it does not choke off apertures which should be open. If you need to undo the gasket years down the track it comes apart without difficulty and does not leave a residue requiring hours of work to remove.

We have used Indian Head Shellac made by Permatex for a long time. Good stuff, and really holds the gaskets in place.
