But in Guzziology, Dave R. sez that they use Permatex 300 gasket sealer (doesn't harden) when they install head gaskets. When I got my heads back from the machine shop, the heads did not need to be flattened (but the valve guides were out by about .008" ). Don't much relish the thought of having the head gaskets leak if I don't use sealer, but if I don't need the stuff, I'd rather not use it. What has been the experience on this list of using sealers on Eldo head |
