You need to use steel orings to get optimum sealing.I havent used hylomar as a sealant on head gaskets.The guy who did my block gave me some stuff that seemed to work well.Someone mention some stuff last week that sounded good.I think its one of those things that either seals first time or gives you grief.I had a turbo holden 6 years back and the head was off every other weekend try to get it to seal.

Do you have to use O-rings with the copper gaskets? Or can you get away with just some hylomar?

Richard,
There not that expensive.I havent bought one for a couple of years but i think it was under $100.Someone who has bought one more recently might be able to give you the current price.You also need to machine grooves in the block to accept steel rings which costs around $100 plus depending who does it.
