Phillip Robinson 12 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 I have a 1936 Ford, flat4, 10 up. I am redoing the motor, which is very similar to the T model, and now I want to know if anybody has used grease on the Head gasket, rather than a spray-on glue. Any ideas. The gasket is a composite copper , the copper being on both sides. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Tinindian 1,587 Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 You can put the gasket on dry although some lube (grease) may help the gasket shift slightly as it is torqued down. I have done it both ways. I do not like any glue like product as it makes it harder to remove the gasket later. By the way I have reused laminated gaskets four times with excellent success. FYI A flat four is a Volkswagen pancake style engine. Your engine is an "L" or "flat" head engine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
