I've never done this.

Mike, I've never done that with MLS gaskets, but I'm trying some new copper ones (SCE ICS). Others said they've gotten another 1/2-2/3 of a turn out of every bolt after a heat cycle. SCE also recommends it.


Back to the topic, I believe Jose said that hot parts from PTK only take a month to build. It's full kits that take so much time to complete. Get the hot parts from PTK and an FMIC from EPP. Then get the rest of the plumbing yourself and you should be able to complete a full kit pretty quickly.
