Do these seal OK? & would a thin coat or 2 of alum paint or copper coat help them seal better. Going on a mild 9-10 to 1 streeet engine. Thank you for your time.

As long as your surfaces are smooth and not too rough they will seal great--some shops go with too much RA and then ya got trouble--I forget what the RA needs to be---most folks spray with Coppercoat or Spray Holomar---if you can feel anything with your fingernail on the surface pattern I would go with a 1009 Felpro or similar
