Couple more questions:
What is the general thought line on using Copper Spray-A-Gasket Hi-Temp Adhesive Sealant?? Especially since I'm not having the block resurfaced? I'm going to clean the block surface very carefully with Shop 3M Roloc Discs. After of course stuffing rags down into all the passages and cylinders. Should the Copper Spray be used on: Head gaskets? Intake? And exhaust gaskets? I know a lot of guys used to use it on every gasket they installed. It still seems to be recommended by a lot of people today, even on many newer engines.
Also something else I just thought about... this is a 6.2L block, and I'm installing 6.5L heads... would the 6.2L gaskets (Fel-Pro 8726 PT) be correct? Or should have I gotten the 6.5L gaskets (Fel-Pro 9701 PT) ?? As far as looking at photos of them, they are nearly identical, except the 6.2L gasket has 4 rounded corners, and the 6.5L gasket has 3 rounded corners and 1 square corner. And in the square corner there is a small hole present in the 6.5L gasket, where the 6.2L gasket does not have a hole in that spot. Other than that all other holes and spacing seem to be exactly the same. However, thickness, what it is made of, etc... I do not know about or if any of that would make a difference or ??
