Headgasket install question

[Fiveohwagon]

I'm about to slap the head on my 88 daytona, and i was wondering if its common to use some copper spray on the head gasket. All my eagle talon friends use it on their OE gaskets/Commetics, i figured i would see what you guys usually do as far as any sealers on the gasket. Thanks in advance!

Use only Mopar P4452005 and install it dry.

I'll have to check the PN on my gasket, i ordered a gasket for an 88 2.2 shelby z daytona, gave them the vin off my car and i got a MLS style gasket.

I use the copper spray. Can't hurt. I figure if there's any small scratch/gouge in the head and or block the spray will help fill it in.

I know a lot of people who use copper spray and others who don't. Its more preference and security.
I have heard it go both ways

The copper spray has a bit to do with what kind of gasket it is. IE: Cometics should be factory coated and they recommend a dry install. Cheapie gaskets are just that - cheapie - copper spray couldn't hurt.

if you have some, it cant hurt

of course it wont make up for poor surface prep

also IMO a re-tork (or perhaps mor appropriately, a tork-check) after 3-5 heat cycles is a MUST, whether cometic, MoPar, FelPro, whatever
