Head gasket sealing?
onethumb:
Right my new OE head gasket has arrived so I'll be fitting it sometime this week ( got to get some oil seal metal tubes). Due to the last one being slightly out I want to cover all bases as it's costing me more than I can really afford now.
I've spoke to several different people and want to know what people here think about using copper slip or blue hyolmar or nothing. Ideas ?

DRY, and totally clean mating faces, OE head gaskets have a sealant sandwiched inside, which squeezes out as the head is torqued, making it an excellent seal.
Skoti:
I've never used sealer whatsoever anywhere with OE gaskets on Honda motorcycle engines.
Make sure mating surfaces are spotlessly clean and dry and also oil free and your good to go.
Have fun!
Skoti.

Yozzer did you put the 4 knock pins back in with the doughnut seals. Glad it's back together. Nice one.
