I used the paper gaskets from MiniMania and they fit perfect. I also gave
both sides of the gaskets a liberal coating of "Hylomar" (made by
Permatex/Lock-Tight) and no leaks yet. Of course I also replaced the o-ring
and backing seal too.

Guys,
I was told to use engine rebuild sealant. It is milky white and has
the texture of hand lotion. Also, the set that I put on two weeks
ago came from M**s and I found that the paper gasket didn't have a
very good fit. They can't even get a simple paper gasket right!
Anyway, you will have to enlarge the holes in the paper gasket so
that you don't tear it when placing over the studs.

Dave,
Personally, I think Copper Coat is all you need. Both sides, allow
it to
get "tacky" before use.
