How about on the headgasket?

I've always heard that any type of sealer on any head gasket is not a good idea because when the head get's torqued it can get squeezed into the water passages & affect coolant flow. I've never put sealer on a head gasket though so I can't speak from personal experience weather thats right or not.

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
to much power is almost enough
