<VV> Permatex Copper Spray-A-Gasket

[Dave Keillor]

It's not uncommon to use high-temp antiseize on head gaskets for better
sealing.  Corvair Underground specifically recommends it for Corvairs.

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.
