[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 419490, member: 13599"] Scoob - upon changing the head gasket on my '79 Johnson, the replacement gasket was something I had never seen before..... it had a very slick feeling like wax or silicone.... years before, they were just the plain gray dry gaskets that you applied sealer with. I called the distributor and he said that with the "new and improved" gaskets that feel like wax or silicone, you should not use any type of sealer. the new ones are "self sealing" . . . as he explained it to me. I guess if you decided to go this route, go ahead and purchase the gaskets just to have in your parts box.... then, you can come back here and ask about sealeants. again, the two mating surfaces should be spotless clean and honed on glass or tabletop hope that helps.
