3.2 Head to Cylinder Seal
Is it right that the 3.2 has no head gaskets? Im presuming this is the case as I didnt notice any on stripdown and now I have my gasket set it dosent contain any. If so how do I seal the heads to the cylinders? Should I use some of the loctite sealent or will it not withstand the heat of the cylinder heads?

There is no seal. Just make sure the surfaces are true and clean.
Did you send the heads out for machining? They should have just kissed the mating surface of each head with a mill to clean it up. You can clean the cylinder tops yourself if you they are serviceable. There are a number of ways someone can do it at home. I have my own preference, but the idea is to have a flat and level/true surface for which to mate to the heads. |

You may also want to search for "lapping" on the forums. It's the process by which you mate the sealing surface of the cylinder to the head, usually with a fine abrasive.
