<VV> Permatex Copper Spray-A-Gasket

[R. Stalder]

My leaky head gasket was due to damaged head surface.  I've got that fixed. 
I was just wondering if there was something I could do to insure a good 
seal.  I don't know where I got anti-seize thing.  Very possible I 
misunderstood something.  Thanks for the help.
