I have a '98 Johnson 115 SPL (90 CV) and I'm changing the head gaskets out. I think I've read every post regarding using or not using sealer on head gaskets and still don't know what to do. I have a BRP factory gasket that says nothing about not-using sealer, and it's not real shiney.....only a little. However, I'm inclined to use something because one spot on the block mating surface just adjacent to the cylinder liner on one cylinder is slightly pitted- and this is where the old gasket failed. My thinking is that I should use either a gasket sealer or indian head shellac in this area to augment the new head gasket. I've attached a picture of the area in question. Please, send me your thoughts. Thanks,
