Does anyone recommend a good cyl gasket sealant?
I have a skimmed and lapped head, I've used a small smear of Hylomar universal blue in the past but have run out.
Is there a decent alternative?

Ive used locktite for the last twenty plus years, before that I used to use gaskets that had a habbit of going pop if the Scooter was ridden too hard....Started using it after I ran a Yamaha DT175 piston with high comp head, the Locktite was reccommended by Dave Webster.....who was I to argue....

Is Blue Hylomar recommended?
