I've got a ROL gasket set that has a special coating on the head gasket. it says"The surface of this headgasket has a special coating for better sealability DO NOT use any chemicals or sealer. It must me installed dry." Its always been my belief that an engine can't be built without coppercoat period. The difference between a long lasting engine and a short lifed engine is the correct use or coppercoat and torquing. I have no faith in the headgasket. Will it hurt to treat the surfaces of the block and head with a light coat of coppercoat? I also have a Fel Pro 8770PT Engine Cylinder Head Gasket on the way. The head is new and I've cleaned the surface of the block with a drill and brush. I'm waiting on some replies to start rebuilding.
Thanks
