Bill, a very good discussion of sealers, and with your permission, I
would like to post it on my 356 Porsche talk line.

One other addition, or comment if you will,

I too have built many engines over the years, both racing and auto/truck
when I owned Fort Wayne Crankshaft Service, and I was taught early to
spray head gaskets with aluminum spray can paint on both sides before
installation, allow to tack up a bit, then install and torque in the
recommended manner and to the recommended torque's.

I have always done that on every head gasket I have installed (maybe
500, lord only knows) without a failure I am aware of.

Works for me?????
