It's hottest part of the liner. If you paint the top of the sleeve with
sealant you'll insulate it from the metal and water that cools it.

This is interesting. I use to install figure-8 gaskets dry, but then started
using a little Permatex on them, due to Jack Wheeler doing it. I am still
spraying a thin coat of Permatex on the steel shim head gaskets, which I
copied from the ex-US Scare mechanic.
