Yep,just found on the web,what Roughasguts posted.

Permatex ( A) High performance Thread Sealant or ( B) High temperature thread sealant.

Holdtite have one also called Holdtite Thread seal ( Funny about the name)

Ouch 17 bucks, might sell my bottle on ebay. But yeah Dave, got mine from one of those Repco, Auto one or super cheap places. Don't remember spending that much though.
