I used advice from an old dirt tracker that had his heads off all the time, and painted the fiber gaskets with aluminum paint. They don't stick so bad and tear up, used them over. this last time I am confident enough to use the NOS copper and probably real asbestos I have been saving for permanent. For head bolts high temp silicone is often used at the top of the threads to insure water doesn't weep around the threads and leak out the top. This leak will quit on it's own in time but looks bad where it streaks the fresh painted motor
