Now, every gasket I replace will have this treatment. I have never used sealant before, but won't do any future work without it.

That is good news Tony . My neighbour uses that Permatex on just about everything , including head gaskets - but I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose . He even uses it on tubeless tyre rims , before assembly he smears a coating of it around the rim and it seals any potential leaks . I found that Its great for water pump gaskets , sump gaskets and timing covers too Mike
