new cylinders from mikes

[sparky01]

bought new big fin cylinder from Mikes and there is no relief for the o'rings at the bottom of the cylinder sleeves. #2 do you use any gasket sealer on the cyl. or head gasket and #3 do you use anything on the head bolts for torquing i am going to use copper washers

anybody?

no orings, no sealer, no antisieze or locktite. some will argue anti-sieze, i didnt use any.

The factory manual specifies lubricating head fasteners with engine oil, and assembly grease also works well. Antiseize is not a lubricant. It will cake on the threads and cause inaccurate readings when you retorque.
