Default Coolant leaking from gasket.....suggestions?

Was the problem resolved? I wonder how much a new gasket would run. I didn't use any sealant but if you had to use one what would you use? Is Gary okay from that accident?

That is good to hear. I didn't think he'd be back in the game this soon. Good to hear he is OK. Now I need to pester him on this gasket thing. I'm hoping DS650King responds.

I'm glad I'm not the only with this problem. Bigshow did you use some sort of sealant?

hey guys I talked to gary and he agreed to send me a new head gasket and the gasketcinch he uses. I've been using the permatex copper head gasket spray and he said the stuff he is sending will work for sure. retorqueing did not help. the best thing is he sending all of the stuff for free. I thought that was pretty good. he still sounds pretty sore. Oh yea and I also order ss bolts for the whole outside of my motor. kyle

That's awsome. I guess I need a new gasket. Let me know when you get yours and how it works out. Also.. where do you get the SS bolts.
