[ihc] RE: A gasketing we will go

["Jim Grammer" <jgrammer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Now wait just a gosh darn minute Hofs, I think I'm referenced out of context
here...  ;)

Sheet metal covers(valve, oil pan, valley, etc) - P-tex #1 to the cover,
P-tex #2 to the covered surface.

Head gaskets, 'modern'(Fel-pro, etc) - No sealant ever.

Head gaskets, IH OEM steel shim - P-tex copper spray.

Non-NPT threads what need sealing(rocker stands, flywheel/flexplate, etc) -
P-tex Aviation 300 first choice, #2 2nd choice.

Silicone? What *do* you use that stuff for, anyway?  8O

Having read ahead, I know Greg answered the head gasket question.
Opinion on whether, and how, to put on the head gaskets gets a lot of
different answers from this group. Jim Grammer uses old style Permatex
that has to be removed with a jack hammer. I used to use the same stuff
on IH sixes that had warped heads.
