I did it just as a little added security with my cometics. My deck had been resurfaced and everything and new heads. Probably wasn't necessary, but I can't see what it would hurt. The only thing was when I did mine I had a fairly small garage and got overspray on my car. Had copper sparklies all over the passenger side. Nothing a little claybar didn't fix LOL

my theory is that it cant hurt so why not try it,it could however help and keep you from lifting heads as easily
i dont know what it costs but im sure it isnt so bad that it isnt worth a try
i know i would pay quite abit if it means i dont have to take my heads off again

You make it sound like he wants to tear down the motor and spray old gaskets with it.... Its just extra insurance to reduce the risk of having to change gaskets a couple thousand miles down the road.

Of the subject - the ARP instructions say 80 ftlbs for these studs - should I go more than that? On my Cummins I know that I went to 110 instead of what the instructions said was supposed to be 90. ?????

Not what I was saying at all. All I'm saysing is a MLS gasket or any other gasket on a LS1 engine doesn't need it, not saying anything wrong with it, you do what your comfortable with.
