Is copper spray generally used on regular head gaskets as well as metal hg's? I have my donor gte on the stand and saw that copper spray was used but I am trying to figure out if the engine has a Metal hg on it.

Thanks.....

Fine on MHG's if you reuse the gasket and the Viton coating is damaged, you strip it off seperate the layers give them a spray with copper and reassemble.

There's a spot towards the right front of the head where you can see the gasket sticking out a little give it a poke with a screwdriver to see what it's made from.
