I've always used Copper Coat on the head gasket and have never had a head gasket
blow. Doesn't mean it is magic pixie dust, but I've had good results with it.

Chris,
Make sure the head is true and check the block too. Clean all gasket
surfaces thoroughly, I use fine scotch brite wheels mounted in a drill then
lacquer thinner. Chase the head bolt threads on the block to get the crap
out and so you get a good pull with not too much friction from dirt and
crud. I use oil on the bolts. Clean the crud out from the cylinder bores and
elsewhere. As Fred Katz said, use paper towels as they are not as
destructive as cloth.
I am using Cooper Coat on the headgasket unless someone has had bad
experiences with it. Please send your comments.
Mike
