Newbie Question:
How does a metal gasket work? Do you need to seal it with something? I have never heard of this before.

no your never supposed to use scilicone on a head gasket, it compresses for a tight fit and its metal so it wont blow out as easy as the cork or paper gaskets. usualy used for turbo motors, and high compression motors.
