I had a mechanic tell me that as long as the surfaces are good, all you
need to do to gaskets is spray them with white lithium grease or similar
product. I built the engine (mostly) this way, and am having second
thoughts, based purely on my own inexperience. His arguments are that
if the surface is true, that method will seal. Also, the gasket sealant
(blue stuff) has a tendency to get squished into important passageways,
etc, and can cause damage.
Should I tear the engine back down and use sealant, or should it be
okay? Thanks!
