Re sealing and gasketing my WC. Whats the best product to use on the head gasket. I've seen Indian Head shellac, copper coat, aluminum paint, etc, etc all suggested. I see copper coat in a spray can or brush can. Which is better? Can I use those products on the other gaskets as well?

I use the spray on copper coating on all gaskets I put in.

The shop manual may comment on that. I have it in pieces in the directory:

I use Hylomar gasket sealer. It's available from Amazon and several other sources.

may be a superstition, but I am a spray on copper coat guy.

I am confident that it at least won't hurt anything. :)

I can't find Copper Coat spray locally, but I can get Permatex Copper Spray A Gasket. I assume it's the same basic stuff?
