I agree. The Permatex Aviation gasket sealer is the best there is...

I wouldn't think you would necessarily need tapping oil just to
clean out existing threads but if you did a quick spritz with an
aerosol can of brake cleaner would be more than adequate to clean
it. I like to use Permatex number one non-hardening aviation sealer
for sealing threads in the water jacket, mainly because it has
always worked for Me and the can I bought several years ago seems to
be lasting forever.

OK, this water jacket issue seems to have created another thread -
using sealant on the bolts. My question is this: I plan to tap
the holes before I reinstall a new manifold. I don't want to
re-cut them, just clean them out to minimize the chances of
stripping the threads due to grit, etc. Of course, that means I'll
be using tapping oil. How do I clean out the oil from the threaded
hole so the sealant has a clean surface to seal onto? Also, I
assume orange sealer is the best application here?
