Location: Ontario, Canada		It has been more than 20 years since I did any of this work and products have improved as my memory has gone down hill!

Head gaskets for this era of engines: install them dry or with a sealer and if so, what sealer?

I'll have more questions as time goes on.

Location: Williams California		Modern head gaskets use no sealer. The old steel and copper gaskets required it, but nothing made in the last 20 years does.

Location: Ontario, Canada		As I recall, I used this stuff on most other paper and cork gaskets. Is there a better product today?

The gasket you show looks metallic, but is a composite material with steel core. No need for gasket sealer, just be sure the surfaces are clean. The steel and copper gaskets I was referring to were wafer thin, and required gasket shellac for them to seal properly.

A wedge/big block?

Location: Ontario, Canada		They were AMC engines. As far as I know they were offered in three displacements. 250, 289 and 327 CID's.

I should switch this thread over to; Latest resto project. In the Nether Region
