Base Gaskets
George,
I assume you already have the 2 base gaskets. If you did not, I would buy 2 rubber caoted base gaskets from Cometic. They make a real nice metal core rubber coated base gasket.
I'm not sure how I would coat fiber gaskets, most likely a light coat of copper coat gasket sealer. I am afraid that using silicone will make them squeeze out when you torque the head. I assume you need the 2 base gaskets to adjust the deck height? Cometic might be able to make a spacer to put between them or have other options, call them.
Regards, Tom
