Intake manifold gasket change....part 2

[Chrispbrown36]

After searching for a vacuum leak for a while now I have decided to pull the intake and valve covers off to clean it all up and reseal it all. Just making a list up of what all to grab. So far I have....1)intake gasket set (Fel-Pro part number 93317) 2) valve cover gaskets (fel-pro part number VS 50088 R) 3) new thermostat and gasket 4) sealant
Last time I used the copper Permatex sealant, should I go with something else? reading through some older posts, I see people talking about sealing around the ports but no one mentions a specific sealant to do this with...can I used the same sealant I use on the ends (as in the copper sealant) or should I use something else? Did I miss anything that I should change out while I am at it?
