The Ford Barn - View Single Post - didn't use Permatex Thread Sealant when installing heads

After reading about it on this and other forums, I used regular grease on the head gaskets of my last two builds with no leaks or other problems. I no longer use sealer on the gaskets, but do use the Permatex thread sealer on the headbolts. I have been reading that there might be something better, but I already have the Permatex and have never had a problem.
