I need to pull my heads to replace the short rocker shaft studs with longer ones. It was one of those things that I didn't manage to get done and stay on schedule for the dyno session.

The Mr. Gasket MLS gaskets I used come with some type of coating that's supposed to help them seal. Disregarding the fact that some of this coating was already coming off the gaskets when I removed them from their packages, I'm interested in reusing them. I'd appreciate recommendations on what I should apply to these low-use MLS gaskets before putting the heads back on.

Thanks - Brad
