Dry build it first, check squish and fit gasket/packers as required....id then use Threebond on the head.

The gasket options usually just account for different deck heights of various Indian/Spanish/Italian casing differences....they know you'll need one or the other (or neither) so give you the choice.

Fit. Measure. Adjust. Seal. Done.

You can then post your associated ign timing and jetting advice questions.....
