Re: leaking head gasket

Mark F
Did you anneal the gasket first? The gasket will be very soft when done.
Heat up to cherry red with a gas torch or I've heard of it being done on a gas stove. Let cool.
Then I usually use Hylomar gasket spray both sides. Looks like blue contact adhesive.
It will probably never seal unless annealed.


It was one of my new gasket that he used and so it would not need to be annealed, as it is made of C106 soft copper sheet, I think that he may have something else wrong here either the bolts bottoming or the head distorted.

Re: leaking head gasket

Tony, do you use strong steel rings under the head bolts ?
