Default Head bolt sealant....

Hi,
as some of you may know I am in the process of a head gasket repair.
Being in Germany makes it difficult to locate the known good sealants and RTVs you are used to.

Right now I am looking for a good substitute sealant for my ARP head bolts.
Here are some available products:
1: http://www.akd-tools.gr/xmsAssets/Fi...octite_561.PDF

The Loctite sealant is only good up to 300 F temperature, this seems somewhat low.

2. Loctite Grey Blue or Copper Premium RTV...up to 400+ F, but is no thread sealer....

Any thoughts?

EDIT: Wrong forum, someone please relocate to Tech/Performance

If you can get a hold of Fel-pro products, they Have "New" head bolts with sealer (pre-applied)

A new set here in the states is about $16 per head..
