    It has been a few years but the toyota form in place goop was highly rated. Even by my subaru tech.

    @danlatu shows a can of Permatex Copper Spray-A-Gasket here. I thought there was some discussion about it too, but not finding it. Just Googling, opinions on using something like this are "mixed".

    I would recommend Hondabond 4. It is used successfully for motorcycle motors that have higher rpm’s and loads.

    Different situations need different stuff. The toyota FIPG is at the top of the list, but copper spray for head gaskets, water pump sealer for corners of water sealing stuff, etc.
