Head Gasket installation
Hey Gents, quick question, do you have to spray on some kind of seal layer to the surfaces of a new head gasket? old gaskets had a black sort of rubber layer on the aluminium gasket, new ones are just aluminium.

Re: Head Gasket installation
the manual only mentions fitting the new gasket,there is no reference to using any other type of gasket seal.

Re: Head Gasket installation
New ones should have the sealing layer on too - black on OE gaskets, usually silver on pattern ones...
