I used them on my 505 stroker, No leaks. But union the freshen up I did notice the steel left a impression in the aluminum.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I've ran the Mr. Gasket P/N 1135 for 10 yrs (125-200 passes a yr depending on how well I did) with 440 source heads without an issue. Did freshen up the engine twice during that time. Was running just a tad over 10:1 compression. Never had an issue.

If i were to try it, i would use copper coat and do a retorque for sure. Someone reported marks left on the aluminum heads, so a rwtorque would be in need.
