What are you guys using on a copper head gasket? Copper coat, Spray tack, or what? I don't have much room between cyl. and head bolt hole and don't wan't to torque to tight for fear of pulling the threads up. Thanks

Maybe try a head stud rather than a head bolt, that way you know the stud is threaded all the way to the bottom of the hole. Then put the head on and torque the nut.

Thank you for catching my mistake. They are studs not head bolts like I wrote.

careful, don't want too much compression, 200psi is MAX in my book, and, we just use copper coat and have the block fire ringed. (just my thoughts)

John
