Good afternoon,<br /> I'm getting different answers on whether or not I should use gasket sealer on my head gasket. Any opinions???? Thanks, Ken

I'm hoping "nope" means I don't need sealant, as opposed to "nope" I don't have an opinion. Save me a trip to Auto-Zone.

Never use sealant on head gaskets, it can interfere with torque specs on the nuts, and can squeeze into the cylinders, not a good thing. Just make sure all mating surfaces are clean of ALL material, and torque to spec. Good luck..
