Gasket Sealants

RodneyCB750K1979
I need some advice as to what type of gasket sealant to use with the gasket between the engine case and the cylinder jug.  My available choices are nothing, HondaBond semi-drying, RTV, Form-A-Gasket non-hardening, and Form-A-Gasket hardening.

Correct.

For the engine case halves use Gaskacinch....the real deal.

Hondabond and Yamabond are copies.

Thanks for the advice.  I was watching a YouTube clip about engine reassembly.  I noticed they applied 3 coats of the copper spray on both the engine case gasket and the head gasket.

They were probably reusing old gaskets.
