Richard S Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 The head on my trusty old electric motor driven 2 cylinder compressor started to leak. I removed the head assuming I would see the gasket blown out. It is some kind of composite paper gasket, but not in bad shape at all. From this I have to assume the head may have warped. I put a sheet of sandpaper on a flat surface and ran the head across. Not that bad, really, couple of very slightly low spots that disappeared after running the head over the sandpaper for a bit. I am wondering if there is a gasket cement that I can use with the gasket on a head of this kind to make a better seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reatta45 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Use <span style="font-weight: bold">copper coat spray </span>for head gaskets... It can not be beat. KennyV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard S Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Would that apply to a paper gasket, Kenny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reatta45 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Yes, spray both sides and reassemble... KennyV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
