I like Permatex Super 300. It's a dark brown, almost black brush-on liquid that was developed to seal gaskets exposed to 115/145 octane aviation gasoline. It's much more effective than the standard brush-on stuff, Permatex 3D. It's a little hard to find, but I've been very pleased with it, particularly when I'm installing steel-shim cylinder head gaskets on high-compression race engines. The .023" steel gasket seals compression very well, but it has problems with coolant seeps sometimes. The Permatex dries it right up!
