My 1954 Patrician with aluminum head had some previously repaired corrosion and some damage to the steel outlet that made getting it to seal somewhat difficult no matter what type or how much sealant was used. Ultimately I used a cork gasket which solved the problem and needed only a thin layer is silicone gasket sealer. I’ve never used a torque wrench on these, instead relying on feel to get it tight.
