valencia1 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 i think the grease was for the copper head gaskets as a anti seize measure. i would say modern h/gaskets go on dry, but i could be corrected on this!i see you have a sammy miller "clews competion machine", there is a sammy miller m/cmesuem about 20 miles from here , don't know if you have heard about it!regards bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
