I have used the Indian Head a few times. I had a head gasket. On my 9.9 that leaked water very slightly on the right side. I used the Indian head after resurfacing the head a 2nd time , just on the perimeter of the outside mating surface of the water jacket area of the head along with a new head gasket. I know you are not supposed to use gasket sealer on head gaskets but I used very little and it cured the leak. I have used it on t stat gaskets once or twice also.
After being advised here to use BRP Gasket sealer, I use that now as my main sealant.
As for the copper based sealant, I wouldn’t use that as the copper will react with the aluminum , resulting in electrolysis between the dissimilar metals.
I do use that on car motors though. Both are very good sealants , but not for use on aluminum .
I hope other members will chime in with their opinions , which I would like to hear.
