copper headgaskets, sealer?
 
What is your favorite sealer for the water passages when using copper head gaskets?

Some copper gaskets already have a sealer on them, But for the ones that do not, I use Coppercoat from Permatex.

I used to use GM sealing compound with very good success I don't know if it still is available though

Gasket sealer
 
I've had good luck with Hylomar gasket sealer. It was recommended by an area performance engine builder. There are plenty out there. I would use coppercoat if I couldn't find Hylomar.
