Hi Hugh
I only use Wellseal, this is a liquid version of what is already on the
gaskets, then re-torque after about 1000 miles. I don't have oil leaking
from the head joint, (it might as well, it seems to come from just about
everywhere else!). I was put on to Wellseal by my local engine guy, yes he
did stock the stuff, but wasn't after a sale as when I said I'd try it he
gave me a tube with my new engine bits!
Graham.
