It has been many years since I installed a stock head gasket on a TR-3/TR-4=
 engine.=C2=A0 I'm helping a friend with his TR engine.=C2=A0 It is a stock=
 rebuild and we are using a stock head gasket.=C2=A0 Does anyone have any r=
ecent experience with stock head gasket sealants?=C2=A0 Should we use a sea=
lant, or install it dry?=C2=A0 If using a sealant, which one would you reco=
mmend?
While I am at it, let me also ask about rear crank seals.=C2=A0 I understan=
d there are some new ones available since my race car days.=C2=A0 I'd be in=
terested in any recommendations you might have.=C2=A0 Use a new stock rear =
seal?=C2=A0 Or, is there a better option now?
Thanks for your recommendations.
