I guess the question is which of the options is best suited to use with an actual gasket - metal to metal i can't go past Three Bond, but yet to find the perfect metal-gasket-metal infill.

I try not to use anything on gaskets, but if in doubt I use blue Hylomar. I have started using VHT aerosol copper head gasket bond on my tractor (very big hand-cut paper gaskets with low joint pressure) with no leaks so far.
 
This is like an oil thread. love it. Used Kawa bond per Ex B when I did my crank (duff bearing engine) 20+ years ago still dry as a bone.

i'rarely use anything on gaskets either - but when an oil leak with a new gasket appears, I need to rethink it.

Started working on the wife's trumpet 1973 T100R.
There appears to be some reference to using oil or grease [thin smear] on gaskets during assembly within the triumph community.
But I'm getting the gist that its all about reusing the gaskets, guess they need to be pulled apart often to keep them going.🧑‍🦼

ps, at times I install gaskets dry but do use hylomar, 418 and three-bond, depends on the type and application,.
 
Hey Tom, yeah, yeah, I know :) She runs, she runs! 1st gear is still a bit hit-and-miss, but simply moving under own steam is a joy, for a man of simple brain.

Am pleased to report I received a goodly amount if piss taking, directed full-square towards my ineptitude as a motorcycle owner this afternoon at the Willersey UK gathering. On the contrary, Jane came along today and received many plaudits for "saving her idiot husband from an inexcusable absence from Breganze, via the loan of her Suzuki". Laverda owners are a harsh crowd :)

Anyway, I hope you are enjoying the plunge back in to southern hemisphere winter, from the sunny delights of Italy.

A meeting of the Heftrich Laverda regulars' table took place at the weekend. Not a huge event, but familiar and sincere.
