I have reviewed almost everything I could find on the forum, and came up with the following thoughts regarding gasket sealants

Head Gasket--Grey composition gasket. Manufactured by the "Best" gasket company with Permatex Copper Coat spray. (2 or 3 coats)

Manifold gasket--1931 Copper with no sealant

water pump--paper gasket with Permatex High tack All Purpose

water outlet--paper gasket with Permatex High tack All Purpose

Some posts say no sealant on the water pump and outlet, but a little sealant makes me feel more confident.

Comments please. Thanks
