I read few articles that they used permatex on head gaskets, but it says that dont use on head gaskets and parts contact in gasoline. so my question is can i use this as sealant outside the head gasket on my KA, because it is leaking oil on the bolt(front) of the head when theres pressure.thanks

I don't see why not but its just a temporary solution (if it can be called a solution). If fuel goes near it the stuff just expands and weakens.
