I thought I read in Haynes or somewhere that you weren't supposed to use metal gaskets on aluminum heads.

My only expereince with them was on a BB Chevy. What a nightmare! Talk about leaking coolant and compression. Even when sprayed with Hi-Tack.

Now if you "O" ring the block, well maybe then . . .

Unless you're planning a lot of NOS, or a blower, you probably don't need them. If so, then O-ringing would be a plus
