Titan Head Gasket

[tte]

Hey guys,

Just one question before I put the head on...

For the stock head gasket you have to put sealant on 2 areas where the front plate meets the block at the front of the engine.

Do you need to do that with the titan head gasket?

Cheers,

You need a little sealant there for all types of headgaskets.

There is a gasket between the block and the front plate..
What is the purpose of the sealant there?

Because the timing cover gasket doesn't make a good seal when the end is butted up against the hg, and oil will seep out of there. It only takes a little bit of sealat.
