a bit of the gasket material peeled off when I seperated the head and the block after running it a few minutes. Im sure its still gonna seal at 60+ lbs of torque but i was thinking of using a very small amount to fill in for the lost gasket material.

Don't use FIPG on the HG...IMO, once you use a composite HG, even for a few minutes, it's toast as far as re-using it.

If you insist on reusing the HG you pulled, use a bit of the Permatex copper sealer that comes in the can and apply it to the area that pealed. In this case, I would coat the entire Fel-Pro HG with Permatex Copper Spray or Brake Quiet.

You didn't say what HG hardware you're using. Stock bolts (new), go to 75 ft/lbs....ARP bolts, go to 75 ft/lbs...ARP studs, go to 81 ft/lbs. All assume the use of moly lube.

Here's the location for the FIPG along the top of the front plate:

The top picture show the place to apply the FIPG...it's a top view and needs to go on the corners. You can also use the Permatex Copper on this.
