cometic gaskets

the electrolysis thing is what was said to me, but it seems most guys with alu heads are using copper coat.

Aluminum heads and standard Fel-Pro gaskets @ 11-1 ratio. Never an issue.

Use Hylomar spray instead of copper coat.

That's the stuff!

I never use copper spray and I never reuse gaskets, why take the chance? new gaskets are cheap, for 75 bucks per head gasket I wouldn't even bother to chance it, I throw them on the scrap pile, and I had my heads off 4 time last summer

$75 can be quite a lot when changing multiple times a year. I have, but don't suggest, reusing head gaskets. Most use I have gotten was 3 time head off and on the engine with the same head gasket.
