Well I got the new head gasket in my 98 4.0 this weekend and am hoping to fire it up this afternoon. Its a metal gasket, which I found as odd since I didnt pull a metal gasket off. But come to think of it there wasnt much gasket to pull off anyways.
First time I run it, should I heat the engine up without coolant or anything special to ensure its got a good seal? Never used a metal gasket that I know of on anything else, and I really dont want to do this job again.
Thanks.
