Is everyone basically running cometic head gaskets? What other options are out there? Tired of the coolant / oil leaks

SignUp Now!A friend of mine recommended the same thing but isn’t it a pain to remove the stud if you ever need too?Sealing the threads...... For 100% success 100% of the time use Loctite 545 hydraulic thread sealant. This stuff never leaks.
I just went through this with Cometics. Never had a coolant leak but they leaked oil pretty bad. I separated them and copper sprayed each layer. From what I have read some guy's have good luck with them and some don't. I got tired of the mess and went to Felpro 9441pt. No leaks.
Not with 545. It's a sealer, not a locker.A friend of mine recommended the same thing but isn’t it a pain to remove the stud if you ever need too?
Thats good to know. I'll have to track some down... My dads tool shop probably has some I can borrowNot with 545. It's a sealer, not a locker.

So is the concencus, Cometic still my best option? I don't beat on my car too often and I'm usually conservative when I do.
