same thing, just the hondabond will hold a bit better and will always be faster.

So what is the verdict with mls gaskets and yama/hondabond?

My way of thinking might be completely wrong, but this is how I see things. Once you torque down and compress a MLS gasket it seals together the layers. That seal of the layers is stronger than the seal with the deck and the heads. The deck and the heads also tend to distort due to high cylinder pressure. The yamabond helps deal with the block deck and head distortion by giving it some amount of stretch before it blows out the gasket.

I'm curious to know if there's a recommended head gasket to go along with this Yamabond stuff. One would think that a head gasket with a more porous surface would allow the Yamabond to adhere better, much like lightly scuffing up sheet metal before primer coating over it so the primer can fill in the little scratches and create a stronger bond.

It ain't as sticky as Suzukiguki and slower and cheaper than Infinibond.

I sprayed my MLS gaskets with copper gasket spray, thinking that was the only option.
