[QUOTE=Tyson Schmidt;9968532]I'm sure you'll get many answers, but I'll put in my two cents.
I use a very thin layer of Curil-T on both sides of the copper gasket. But it's perfectly acceptable to install them dry.
I would NOT use 574, as it harden. With all the expanding and contracting going on there, that can lead to cracking and flaking of the hardened 574 down the road. I've seen it on motors I've disassembled.
I forgot the 574 hardens so I'll use the Curil-T which I have on hand.
Both sides of the engine got the same thickness/amount of cylinder gaskets/shims.
I would hate to have a cylinder base gasket leak that's why I asked the question.
IIRC, when I did my 2.7 I ended up installing them dry but only used one base gasket on that build.
Thanks,
