I use aluminum paint also on metal head gaskets with not one failure. Recommend perfectly machined surfaces when using. Clean to. Brake cleaner works good, acetone better. Use spray on copper coat for less than perfect head surfaces. Use RTV silicone on every thing else. Spread real thin. Sometimes with no gasket at all. Grease works well on good surfaces with little pressure on them. Do not use sealer on turbos!!! Sealer can and will enter the oil inlet and stop up small ports in the bearing housing. Have turned down lots of turbo warranty claims when silicone was found in the housing ports.
