<VV> Permatex Copper Spray-A-Gasket - answer

[Frank DuVal]

Oh you heard correctly!

 It is part of the instructions included with Clark's Big Bore copper 
head gaskets aka Otto Parts Big Bore gaskets. At least it is with the 
stock I have from the early 90's!

This is the way I installed them, using the silver antiseize.  Love 
those copper gaskets. Anything new appear in the last 10 years? ggg
