It gives off a terrible stench and I'm told that it isn't good for you to inhale the fumes from hot galvanized metal. And I doubt it would seal as well as aluminum anyways. Try your local lumber yard for some aluminum  eave flashing. It's really cheap and I suspect it would be about the right thickness...maybe a little thin, but you could double it up if you had to.The engines I mentioned earlier that did not use head gaskets were in some old golf carts I worked on many moons ago. To assemble them, you simply cleaned the head and cylinder really well...and then sprayed both mating surfaces with a light coat of aluminum paint and let it sit a couple minutes before bolting together.</blockquote>
