Last year I got a new head gasket for my '32 Chevy Roadster from Egge and
it did not come with any instructions, I just installed it without any
sealer or anything and it has worked fine. I do know that there is a
sealer available for copper head gaskets but don't know of a source
offhand. You might want to call Egge in California.
