so i'm in the middle of putting my new cylinder head on and i was curious to what people use on certain parts of the head to seal things up
such as:
-headgasket
-intake gasket
-TB gaskets
-Thermostat gaskets

I have some permatex high tack spray-a-gasket sealant 99ma item# 80065
just wondering what that would be good to use on

thanks

On my car I used a copper sealant spray, and it works well.
This is the stuff.

if the factory didnt put sealant on in addition to their gasket, im sure that'll suffice.

oem gasket, oem install instructions.
 
so what exactly are the main things that cannot go without gasket sealant? If it doesn't absolutely need it, i'd rather not put it on
