Ultra Copper ?

It's spray on copper gasket maker by the same guys as Ultra blue/black silicone.

Here it is... i beleive it's also available in an aerosol.

Most site's I've seen recommend using it on aftermarket copper headgaskets to help them seal to imperfections easier...

i dont know if that's the stuff......it sounds like it but it's not in a silicone tube. they say you can spary it onto all types of headgaskets to help seal it better............i guess it could be that stuff

i'll look around the permatex website.......

thanks.

is this the stuff:

Fast drying, metallic copper sealant helps dissipate heat, prevents gasket burnout and improves heat transfer. Fills minor surface irregularities. Seals instantly. Fills hot spots and surface imperfections. Temperature range -50°F to 500°F; resists all types of automotive fluids, especially gasoline. Level 2

Suggested Applications:
Cylinder head gaskets, carburetor gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets and other high temperature applications

http://www.permatex.com/products/pro...&item_no=80696



or this stuff seems to be better suited for imports:

Non-hardening, high-temp sealant is the ultimate gasket dressing for pre-cut gaskets. Originally developed by Rolls Royce. Import Specified and endorsed by Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Jaguar and others. Endorsed by a cut gasket manufacturer for use on head gaskets. Ideal for threaded fittings where thread locking is not desired. Temperature range -65ÞF to 600ÞF; resists gasoline, kero-sene, antifreeze, oil, synthetic lubricants, fluorocarbon refrigerants. Sensor-safe.

Suggested Applications:
Head gaskets, valve cover and oil pan gaskets, intake gaskets, gear boxes, axle assemblies, marine engines, diesel engines

http://www.permatex.com/products/pro...&item_no=81998




i'm considering the second one since it can handle slightly more heat and it's made for imports such as audi, BMW, jaguar and so on.......
