Haha... You will probably get 100 different answers to the one. - My preference, the gaskets with the restricted exhaust crossover. I think they were originally for trucks but all the T-Bird guy's use them because they help prevent the paint from burning. I think they are Fel-pro, maybe Best gasket.
- IF I was going to use gasket sealer I would use Gasgacinch. I usually use wheel bearing grease. Both are carryovers from my M/C mechanic days.
Did I mention I hate scraping gaskets. Especially with aluminum parts...

I use that style of gasket too, think it might have been from Best. Pematex No. 3 around the ports and a little bit of red RTV on the centre cross over.. Grease is not a bad option tho'

I use a very thin coat of rtv around the coolant passage, dry everywhere else.

I`m with Master Cylinder. I use a thin coat off grease, because you can use them over and over if your careful. Did I mention that I`m also somewhat cheep?

These gaskets seal very well, no need for sealer of any kind. Master Cylinder is right on with a little grease for reusing.

Normally grease, but I have been known to coat them with Pipe dope also, some that never harden, seals well and very reusable! I am also cheap!
