I've had success using Kopper Kote (I think that's their funny way to spell
it.) I cleaned the gasket and top of the block first with lacquer thinner and
let it dry. Then I hung the gasket by a coat hanger and gave it a thin coat on
each side. I let it dry for about 15 minutes and did it again. I repeated
this until I had 3 coats. (wear a mask while spraying) Finally, I placed the
gasket on the head (without the studs, then hand threaded each stud (ARP) into
the stud holes.
