Having got the barrel back from Weir's I'm ready to build up the engine. Do I put gasket goo on both sides of the base paper gasket or just the face in contact with the barrel?
Cheers, Chris

use wellseal , much better than hylomar and does not block filters
if you strip a engine built with hylomar you will find it in filters , gauze/strainers etc..
can be used on copper head gaskets , paper gaskets

Hi
Another recommendation for Welseal applied sparingly to both sides of the gasket.
If you leave it 10 or 15 minutes before assembly the Welseal thickens up a little and the gaskets don't move around so much as when first applied.
