Ned,
FWIW, here is a list of sealants I received from a retired engine builder:
Always use the manufacturers suggested installation instructions, as some
applications or gasket types REQUIRE different lubes or sealants but here is a
rough guide:
head bolts #5, dip clean dry thread in

then insert and tq heads in place
BTW this will work also

All the parts are in and I will start to reassemble the engine and
transmission tomorrow.
What is the feeling on the use of sealers? What type and where?
In dismantling the engine I noticed that the only places sealers had been
used were places previously repaired.
Your comments are greatly appreciated.
