I didnt do anything except spray the copper coat on them... if the area you are talking about is thin than just spray them EDIT I should have said I cleaned them with brake cleaner first then sprayed them Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 07/09/13 06:13 PM.

Coppercoat is for heat transfer and was best for old style metal head gaskets. Holomar spray is 10 times better sealer.
