good....the saab uses stretch to fit bolts and are torqued cold. i run mine up real slow to bring it down square. if you are using a copper gasket it is imperative to do it differently than the manual. because you are o-ringing ( as i did) it is important to bring ti down perfectly square. with the spray sealer you are using you have to modify the procedure further. anneal and scotchbrite your gasket. do the scotchbrite on a very clean surface the gasket is susceptible to bending. put one fine tack coat on gasket, let set till tacky, spray two more light coats. it lays up pretty good, try to get a 1/32 inch thick coat on both sides. this is after cleaning it good with acetone/alcohol. let dry until wel skinned. then assemble. be very careful dropping head into position. now snug it down to about 5-10 pounds and let it sit for an hour. now take it in 5 pound inc to about 35. now let it sit overnite. now finish taking it to 67 or whatever it is in increments going from 50 to last setting on final pull. then do the 1/4 turn stretch. for stock gaskets just take it down 15pounds at a time. clean bolts well first and dip in ENGINE OIL. always tighten in sequence.
enjoy.
