Copper Spray GM MLS Head Gaskets?
Hey guys, I am re-installing my driver side head tomorrow on my 5.3 (broken exhaust stud removed). I have both the head and block prepped and ready to go, but wondered if I should copper spray coat the stock type GM MLS head gasket before installing them?
I've always done this in the past with Gen I SBC and Mark IV BBC's when using steel shim head gaskets, but the LSx is a whole new animal to me.
Thanks guys!!

I did not spray my stock GM gaskets and had no problems. If you were using Cometics then I would spary them even though it says not to.

I'm gonna take alot of flame here BUT i spray MLS gaskets when i put them on my motors with Copper spray and have never had a head gasket problem, it just seals better all the way around like contact cement
