It comes with it's own built into it and adding more tends to cause leaks. Older metal factory gaskets require sealer. From: "Michael & Carmen Keith" Subject: fsj: Non-FSJ related - Head gasket replacement on 4.2 motor in 87 Wrangler If there is an e-mail list better suited for this question, please feel free to redirect me. That said, I'm getting ready to install a head gasket on my brother-in-law's 87 Wrangler with a 4.2 I-6 (the cam lobe on exhaust #2 flattened itself). The Haynes manual I'm using advises me to use some sort of sealant on the head gasket. The manual covers a number of model years, & it states very specifically that sealant is to be used for the 4.2 & the early 4 cylinder motors & no sealant is to be used on the later 4.0 I-6 & later 4 cylinder motors. I've never used any sort of sealant on any head gasket, & the Fel-Pro gasket I'm using looks does not look any different in materials or construction from any other head gasket I've used. Does anyone have any experience with this? If I do have to use a sealant, what kind should I use, & how & where do I apply it? Thanks in advance for any input.

Used to be a combo valve) Booster is stronger and the master on the newer ones use 2 different sized pistons inside. Aside from that, the '83 Cherokee WT Master and double booster I have looks to be able to bolt up to my '73 J4000! (need to do that to change my front axle anyways!) From: "Neal Hoover" Subject: fsj: brake master cylinder / booster hey, gang - on my '76 J-truck, the brake MC assy looks pretty worked out. the assy that is on my '86 j-truck body looks to be in much better shape (as well as 10 years newer). are these assys swappable? just wondering if the bolt patterns are the same, etc. thanks!
