Between gasket and what?

The way you worded it sounds like you are putting two gaskets on top of each other?

That doesnt sound like a good idea in terms of accurately applying force to each fire ring to compact it by the right amount.



Going back to the sealer though, i never use any, most gaskets have a tiny amount of sealant built onto them anyway.

Skim the head and the block if needed and use a new standard Ford gasket - anything else will just mean having to do the job again later.

what are you expecting sealant to do once its dried?
do you think having a layer of weak material will help?

the standard "glue" they have on them is VERY VERY thin, i wouldnt want any more than that

never personally put anything on the Gasket. i always used a Partern Head gasket untill just before Xmas when it went again after the head was skimmed etc. stuck a GM head gasket on it and its been fine now.

its worth the extra money for the lasting results!

just use the gaskey on it's own mate or you will cause uneven seals all the way round and the pressure will blow it out anyway

If sealant was to be used they would supply it with the gasket
