The included paper says they reccomend installing dry. What do you think? Do you use any type sealer on them?
 
Ive heard of people doing them both ways,I can say from experience that even with the correct finish on the block and heads they do seep intially for a period of time but usually seal up.The second time I put the engine together I talked with the machinist and used the coppper spray as per his reccomendations,they use it routinely and it worked great for me.

Thanks, That has been my experience in the past with steel head gaskets. I allways used copper coat and had good results.
