installing victor head gaskets

[Boosted Thrills]

couple of questions

install them dry or spray them with some K&W coppercoat

torque them to 65ftlbs or more?

im using a 89 block and vortec heads and ARP bolts if that matters

thanks to all that can help

Re: installing victor head gaskets

dont put anything on the gaskets, they are made to go on dry. if your using arp studs then torque to 70lbs with arp moly lube. your using bolts so put some RTV on them and torque to 75lbs and torue to 55 and then in 10lb increaments in sequnece. you can use more but for you build it should be fine. you can run up to 80lbs but unless you plan on pushing it really really hard then there is no need.
