cometic gaskets

was hoping you would chime in mech1nxh......was told when i started my turbo build to use cometic gaskets to contain the added compression of boost. was also told to fit them dry with a thin smear of sealer around the water galleries only.
i am rebuilding after det ate #8 piston, iron heads, blow through carb. have now invested in eddy heads, efi, roller cam $$$$$$$$$

competitive gasket !!! Again, I am no guru :) . --- bet ya --- You find
> than .030 on the Cometic. !!!

The real 'beauty' of the Cometic Group (et al sp?) is their consummate
engineering genius !!! them thar boys figured out how to keep a fire ring
stable under 'literally' stupid amounts of boost !!!

Or 'heat saturation'(read 'block wiggle lol' )in an 9-10 k rpm Nascar build.
