1G Head Feed Blockoff Bolt

Just wondering what sort of seal you guys are using in between the bolt and the head as far as the blockoff. I have the correct size bolt blocking the head feed, and it is currently leaking oil from the port.

I was wondering if you guys used copper crush washers or the like to it. Also, does anyone simply sell a head blockoff kit?

I'd use a crush washer and make sure the head surface and the bolt is as clean as possible. Should cure the leak.
