Head gasket gl1000

I couldn’t find either? I prefer Brush On

Some do, some don't. I have the spray, but haven't used it. There should be no corrosion issue.

Ok that's what I was wondering I'm always Leary of dissembler metals iv seen them old idi diesels the destruction of electrolysis done plenty of head gaskets but the ones I ordered don't look like the have a sealing coating

Clean, flat head and block surfaces plus proper torque (many use moly on bolts and washers) are the key to leak-tite head gaskets, in my experience.

ding ding ding. i chase threads and use moly on bolts.

So copper spray or none service Manuel doesn't confirm that's really the only question I have

I think you're fine either way, but I do use it because I feel that it's void filling properties are worth the effort, and I've ridden very hard in the 8000 rpm plus with a hot engine and never blown.

Thanks man I definitely will use it I've done a lot of head gaskets over the years some say use/don't use but I always make sure and copper spray questions are like pulling teeth lol I wish felpro offered a permatorque gasket for these bikes they are hands down the best gaskets and they seal fantastic

I always found that genuine Honda gaskets with nothing else at all, worked best.

 

[derrick woods]

Welp the heads are on now waiting for my oil seals to get hear

 

[derrick woods]

So heads are on crossover tube on waiting on cam seals anyway the Manuel says apply sealant between the cam holders and head mating surface anyone know what kind? Shellac hondabond 3bond?

 

[pidjones]

Hondabond and 3bond about the same. Shellac (Indian Head) has the advantage that it is soluble in acetone. Just be light with any you decide on.
