ive used about every kind of rtv that permatex makes and it all works fine. tried honda bond also and it works fine although i dont care for it and havent used it in years mostly because its runny and might cause the gasket to push out if the mating surfaces are not dimpled (had a cylinder and case gasket push out with hondabond). used rtv on metal head gaskets alot and it works great for me. the key is to just use a small amount so it doesnt spooge into all the passages and port tunnels. im sure most any sealer will work about the same, its just a matter of which one you prefer
