The head gasket I removed was of a soft material with metal inserts so the copper or aluminum spray would be appropriate to use. However, the new one I got from JD is metal on both sides. What if anything should be applied to this gasket as a sealant?

Mike's idea is fine. Just make sure you re-tighten the head nuts once you get it good and hot once. Don't skip the ones behind the rocker assembly! Jason

Gary, I normally don't use anything on head gaskets but on a late A or 60 tractor, which are prone to seep, I use some #3 Permatex on the outside vertical rails of the gasket on both sides of the gasket. Torque the head in 10 lb. increments to 150 lbs., run the tractor and check it again. I have done this for several years and have had good success with it. Hope this helps. Mike
