Welcome to M&M  !
To answer your question, there is only one way to seal copper head gaskets on engines with water.
KW Copper Coat spray!
Don't waste your time with anything else.
Spray both sides of the gasket liberaly, let it get tacky, and then install. TOrque to spec. Retorque after warm up with new gaskets.------------------

Thanks guys. I'm building a Cleveland for a friend and I have heard of different ways to seal the heads with copper gaskets and was wondering what was the best way. The Money Maker Mustang looks great. I had a 64 1/2 Mustang coupe drag/Pro street car with a 351C in it. It was on the front cover of Super Ford Mag back in Oct 88. ------------------
