Copper Spray w/ OEM Head Gasket w/decked head/block) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

On my CA I just had the block and head surfaced and was wondering if it would be overkill to use copper spray on the OEM gasket before installing it. I know in most cases its best to use it if you have any imperfections, but since I've had them surfaced I wasn't sure if it would be beneficial at all. I have a can here at the house.... which is why i ask. thanks for any advice
