No Gasket - Cylinder Sealant?
OK, I've read all the previous threads on using sealant - what kind/brand of sealant - on the under cylinder copper gasket.
However, to get the deck height where I want it, I'll be doing without the copper gasket. So, the question: use sealant at the cylinder to case mating flange or not? If yes, I'd be using the high temp Hylomar non-hardening - good to 600F/315C. If no, reasoning? Thanks! Jim

With no shim you definitly need some sealant. Your choice sounds good. It must be non-hardening so the cylinder can seat all the way when you torque the heads (much later in the process than putting in the cylinders).

Curil T or Curil K2 are my votes. I'm not a fan of dry assembly. No-hardening for sure!
