I'm just wondering if anyone has ever tried to apply some high dielectric strength heat resistant seal coat to the water boxer cylinder head's gasket sealing surface, and to the block's mating surface. The weight of informed opinion seems to indicate that electrolysis plays an important roll in causing these waterboxer head gasket leaks. It's thought that's probably not a rehash of the same old thought paths. John |
