ok, so im doing a headgasket swap...

i have a cometic 1.01mm metal gasket. what(if any) gasket sealer should i use? i read some where that i should be using some just incase i have scratches or something else like that.

also, i have the long block assembled and sitting there. i checked the piston to bore tolerance because i was just curious. i have it bored 20 over, so what should the tolerance be. i checked the manufacture of the pistons and also the FSM but im not sure its going to be the same. the manu. didnt give tolerance specs.

one more thing, is there a usdm replacement thermostat for the sr redtop? like sentra se-r or something like that? the one thats in my motot now i dont think its working. its set for a 170ish degrees
