Mounting cylinder heads without a gasket?
I hear on one 3.8 v-6's of old, the entire engine was assembled without gaskets and just used rtv silicone. Right now I am working on mounting some 1971 351C 2v heads to my 91 302 block and neither of the gaskets seem to line up the ports properly. In addition, these heads are open chamber so I will lose compression. Now.... I hear if you dont use ther gaskets and just rtv silicone, you will raise the compression a notch. Will there be much strength concerns with such a setup if used on a low rpm application?
