Me too, like using gorrilla snot for the gasket to cover. I've used both, rubber and cork, and lately been leaning more towards cork, no particular reason (maybe availability, or what I had in stock).

I use High Tack on paper gaskets for areas like timing covers, termostats, oil pan, and valley pan gaskets. (carb base and dizzy to block gasket I do dry).

Copper spray I use on collector gaskets for example, where heat is an issue. Steel/copper shim style head gaskets are another area copper spray is good for.

Many intake and head gaskets go dry, read the manufacturer's recommendations. I don't even know if they even make the 'regular' old-style paper gaskets for heads anymore!
