Copper head gasket, oringed cylnder and dry blocked. Sealant??

[TiZiK]

Finally getting around to finishing the assembly of my 1316cc big bore.  I have dry blocked it and had the cylinders oringed.  When doing final assembly, should I be using a gasket sealant?

 

The install sheet from cometic says to use some, but I'm thinking that since its dry blocked and oringed, I may not need it.  Just wanted to confirm and see what others have done.

Yes use sealant - Gaskacinch is what i'd use - its like thinned out, non adhesive Evo-Stick and it works!

VHT copper gasket worked for me

i Have used the spray on VHT gasket but its a bit messy i think the gaskacinch is a lot better to use

Gaskacinch and a bit of yambond round the oil way studs, there are other makes of bond around.

a top tuning shop used black silicon round the oil way studs, worked a treat, But only use a thin smeared
