Yep, I have heard that. That is something that is a trend amongst the MKIV guys...I just don't hear of many MKIIIers doing that (except for one...maybe others keep it as a "secret"...).

Well it helps seal up the gasket. See, many don't get their block milled to a low enough RA to use a MHG as suggested from the MHG manufacturers. It sort of fills in and helps with that situation (but can only do it to a degree).
This one guy that has a 1000 HP 7M started using it, and others have tried it too with good results. At first I was sort of unsure of what to think of it since it is was relatively new thing, but so far, nothing but good results have come of it as more and more people are using it.
Seems to be the most sure way of getting the gasket to seal up right--has the highest success rating.

...Also, will it make the head more difficult to remove later?

I don't think so...not as far as I know or have ever read or heard of.
Glad we got to discuss this with you, Phil.
Had I moved this thread to the MKIII section (where the BHG area is heheh), we would not have traded posts.
