But I could be wrong. I didnt build the motor but when I have to take it apart I would like to know whats the best to use to put back in it.

My car was doing a lot of what is being described here and I used a Cometic MLS on a freshly rebuilt motor, It would drive fine all day long for 200 miles, but as soon as I would get into the boost once or twice, the fucker would push out a bunch of coolant and wast to overheat. I'll be going to a Fel-Pro Permatorque and some L19's, many have used this combo after having the same issue with great success.
