So I'm midway through my BHG fix. Taking my time, double checking everything, did the KS rewire while it was apart, everything is going very smoothly. Only running 15 pounds right now so I sent the head out and new seals put in, valves lightly lapped, etc. Checked the block, and it was in spec for flat and all (never overheated). Spray the HG with copper spray (composite) let it tack up, spray again, wait, put on head with hoist, put on washers, put in ARP studs hand tight. Get in TSRM for tightening sequence FUCK SHIT MOTHER WHORE FUCK forgot to put silicone beads on front cover.:nono:

So my question is, tomorrow morning will I be alright to raise the head a bit to get some silicone in there, or do I need to start over? Will the copper spray still be just tacky, or will it be all dried up and cause a sealing problem?
