hks headgasket question!!!!!

[san supra]

a fellow supra owner told me there hks headgasket has bare metal on the outer layers and the black (viton) layer in the middle.

ever heard of this??
if it is this way when i go look at it, should i clean and copper spray it?

ive had 3 hks bead type and have never heard of this.

help plz

when i got mine brand new it had the viton on the outter layers, the black stuff coating (hks stopper)

but im not sure if its on all or any of the inner layers

is it brand new? if someone knows the part im unsure of and its a no then id send it back for another

 

[san supra]

they told me it was new.
the only hks i haven't seen is a grommet hks but im sure they all have an outer coating.

it is currently installed on there motor so i haven't seen it yet but i want to know if i should spray it with copper spray if it is bare.

I dont think the MHGs should have copper spray

All the mhg's ive seen have the viton on the outside. If your reusing you can spray the copper spray just make sure the gasket is clean.

Any layer that has an impression in it should have viton on it, the flat bare metal layers dont

thanks for the replys, i was just miss informed by them.
i went and looked at it and it was a normal 1.2mm hks with viton on the outside. lol oopsy!
