Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
MAP doesn't have the MLS in stock, and even so, it's $130. It looks like I'll be going with the permatorque.

Get me a cost. Otherwise, I'll just do it through MAP.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
I'm not at work all day today, that's why I said to call Craig. Or call the store, 763-566-1274.

Fixed.
Mitsu MLS with no spray gets my vote. Evo's stock head gasket is MLS and none of us recently have used copper spray and they've held just fine.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
I wouldn't spray a headgasket period. Just make sure both surfaces are as clean as possible. If the gasket is gonna seal, it will seal.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
I am always a fan of that, and since it will be torn apart shortly, I just might do that water pipe o-ring.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
You can't compare the Evo MLS to the DSM one, nor the head rigidity between a DSM head and an Evo head.
I would run the Permatorque, and don't copper spray it. Copper spray is not going to do shit for holding in it 2500psi of cylinder pressure.

Its ok swifty. I do recall the conversation but it was more of a pondering as to whether to reuse or not to. which he came to the conclusion that he would not be reusing. I am reusing mine, and i will post up the compression tester results and we can compare. But i have always reused my metal head gaskets, never taken out the rivets though that seems pretty extreme. Maybe next time ring the block and head and not have to worry about expensive head gaskets.
Speaking of which have you done a compression test?

This thread is full of fail. I don't see the point to trying to be a cheapass and save a few bucks when it risks having the rip the head off again, buy a new gasket anyway, plus all the additional stress, headache, and downtime.

I just palmed face so hard I am now bleeding and partially blind. You have got to be joking. Please tell me you are.
Compression test isn't going to prove jack shit unless you absolutely fucked up the head installation or the gasket is severely messed up. When the cylinder fires it puts more pressure on the head gasket than just cranking the engine over will ever do.
