![]() I dont know about mowers but most head gaskets dont need any sealer. Infact they tell you not to use one. Sealers dont compress well, and you really need a tight uniform seal around the combustion chamber. One thing/trick I did read was that some engine builders spraya light coat of aluminum paint on the surfaces for adhesion. I guess it is thin enough not to interfere with the seal.
