Re: [Chrysler300] Replacing Heads & Gasket Sealer

["Richard Osborne" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

Assuming that you are refering to the head gaskets, I never use any sealer on the head gaskets. This is true whether using steel shim or composite gaskets. I strongly recommend having the heads surfaced to ensure the mating surface to the block is flat.

Now, if you are talking about the intake gaskets, I prefer Hi-Tack, available at most auto parts stores. For the exhaust, I just use standard gaskets without sealer (even though from the factory, they did not use gaskets here).

Best regards,

Richard Osborne

Hi All,

The 1963 service manual indicates that Mopar Number 1122893 gasket sealer should be used when replacing the cylinder heads.  What is the best currently available material to use?

Thanks,
