"Gorilla snot", now there's a technical description I haven't heard in many
moons.  My race car mechanic used to swear by the stuff, which was a good
thing because he used to swear AT a lot of other things!  And it wouldn't
have surprised me much to learn that he used it instead of nuts & bolts to
hold the car together!

My all time favorite liquid gasket goo is Permatex Ultra-Copper.  I like its
high heat capability.  I use it on just
about everything else because I don't like having different tubes of goo
around.  

I used to use Yamabond for seals that would see gasoline.  But once I
learned that the 3M Super Trim
Adhesive is the same stuff at a much lower cost, I switched to it.  Yellow,
sticky as all get out, doesn't 
disolve in gasoline.
