I like the method of using an old liner to polish the gasket surface. Alth=
ough a light amount would be nice just to get a good clear image of the sur=
face condition. =20
I used the red, High-Tack spray-on sealant with a copper gasket when I put =
together my first and last and only TR engine build, which is now apart for=
a refresh after 19 race weekends and a total of 5,500 miles. I sprayed bo=
th sides of the gasket, let it tack up and set them in place. I haven't pu=
lled the liners. I thought I'd just replace the rings and bearings, check =
and polish the crank and refresh the valves and seats and put it back toget=
her.
I think Marcel has made a good point that it's possible no sealant is neces=
sary if all conditions are otherwise excellent. The sealant is just added =
insurance.

the preferred Fo8 gasket sealing compound that seems to have worked for eac=
h of you in your various engine re-builds. And any comments / observation=
s you choose to share either on or off list. The motor I am building has a =
89 mm piston and liner kit from BFE along with Corrello rods / bolts and a =
Crower dummy main crank connected at the front with a ATI Super Damper and =
at the rear to a Fidanza Alloy Flywheel with diaphragm clutch, an HVDA conv=
ersion with alloy drive shaft to a Quaife 4.11:1 diff. and alloy back cover=
. Stainless Steel valves with 0.050 oversize intake thru Mang. Bronze guid=
es. H/S roller rockers on alloy pedestals. BPNW 270 duration cam. The TR4A=
head has had 0.040 removed mostly to true things up and remove prior imper=
fections. The head chambers have been mildly worked to smooth any sharp ed=
ges and even things out with a resulting chamber volume of 60.5cc each. I =
am planning on installing Gasket Works 0.022 copper gasket with their 0.005=
=E2=80=9CO=E2=80=9D compression rings on the head side of the gasket that =
will be sprayed with a copper coating on each side. Gasket Works sent a se=
t of Fo8 individual gaskets that has allowed me to obtain a liner protrusio=
n of 0.0025 to 0.003. Am aiming at a compression ratio of around 9.75 to 1=
+/- . Looking forward to as many responses as possible to assist in trying =
to get this critical step as close to right as I can.
