Head gasket question
Hey folks,
I'm putting together the 350 for my Suburban. In the gasket kit (felpro) the head gaskets are the blue permatorque type. My question is, does this gasket need a sealer applied to it. I know the metal gaskets you usually apply a spray gasket adhesive to it. Does any one know if the same apply here or can they go on as is. I'd call the auto suply store but at this time of the day the high school kids are there and I'd be wary of their answer. Thanks in advance for input.

Re: Head gasket question (nunus79)
I thought as much, no adhesive needed. No everything is spotless. Threads all chased ready to go. Just figured out at .028 below deck w/ flat top pistons this little mouse is going to be about 9.7 compression ratio. With a 268H comp cam , I should be able to motor through the worst of the snow this winter :D . Well time to go back out check the cam make sure it's timed right. Then the heads add the pan and spin up the oil pressure.
Thanks for the quick response
