The thing about sealing these early air-cooled engines is that most ideas/techniques "can/may" work. We offer a technique that works for us. That does not mean it's the only method that works. More isn't always better, tighter is often a problem and cleanliness is paramount.
Thanks, if you could indulge me once more. Would you recommend Curil T on the intake runners to head gasket? Are these very likely to leak? I'd like to avoid any mess by installing dry but looks painful to remedy if one leaked.

Thanks again.
