6.0 MLS question... Harlan?

Matt, when you were using 6.0 MLS head gaskets, were you doing anything special to the head or engine deck surfaces? Also, did you use the copper spray, or do you have any thoughts about it? I know that some folks also have an interest in some Cometics too.

Straight out of the package, install heads, torque studs.

Nothing special on either surface.
