sealing intake ports

What does S&S use on their knuckle and panhead motors? I'm thinking of using a steam fitting goop, from Deacon.
Thanks,

We use "the right stuff" by Permatex on our Knuckle intakes, and snug them as tight as an expander wrench will allow, our pans have the shovel intake and exhaust ports so there isn't a thread in insert. A note about the Permatex sealant: Since it's not a thread locking compound, it will let your inserts back out some when disassembling in some instances, however it holds up to the heat and seals very well. We did this so if a customer wanted to change out to the o-ring adapter, he/she wont damage the threads in doing so. It may not be ideal for thread locking, but it will work well in keeping the heads fully functional and re-build-able for years to come.

What blend of Permatex?

The product data sheet for Permatex "The Right Stuff" states "Not for use on parts with gasoline contact"

There is little to no gasoline contact to the threaded area of the intake nipples, "The right stuff" withstood our 200 hr engine dyno testing, the test mule engine and is still sealing in KKN-001 (first production KN engine built in late 2007)

I was hopeing you were only making a bad joke.
