So far it has worked out great. Not much work involved, its a small engine and I barely used half a small can of the coppercoat. Sprayed both sides of the gasket with nice light even coat and let it dry, sprayed the block with a light coat let it dry to the touch, then put down the gasket, then laid the head down on top, then installed the ARP studs.
I have put on 30K miles on the top end rebuild using the coppercoat and ARP head studs and not had any problems.
