The metal dust stuck to the thin film on the gasket , so i had to clean the gaskets down to bear metal. I plan on putting the Right Stuff around the water and oil passages. Should I spray the entire gasket with either Copper or High Tack? Which one would you reccomend? Do I need to be concerned about getting any on the fire ring area? Thanks
