Finished the short block on my 572 Keith Black engine last night and both the block and my B1 heads are smooth finished for Cometic gaskets. New gaskets, prepped finish, now should they go on dry with a silicon sealer around the water ports or do you guys spray them down with copper coat or something similar. Studs are being used. Thanks for any input.
