You do apply a SMALL dab to each of the front corners of the block, but that is all. The valve cover half moons which go on the head after it's installed take a thin layer of sealant before being set in place, more so to hold them there when you put the valve cover back on. Cover gasket; no sealant. Make sure all your mating surfaces are CLEAN. http://www.walkablecommunities.org/ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
