Using MLS gaskets Quick question for those using MLS gaskets. Did you have to have your heads machined for them in order to seal or did you just put them on nd le it ride?
if you check with the company you are buying from they will state the RA that they require. most common machine shops will not the ability to get such a fine RA. so make sure you ask first.
actually here is a copied example.
What surface finish is required to us an MLS head gasket?
A surface finish of 50 RA (roughness average) or finer, is recommended for a proper gasket seal. Anything rougher may conflict with the gasket design.
