Head gasket sealent

[Gbinterim]

Any recommendations on head gasket sealer for a temporary fix?

Other than a new head gasket? If you have to remove the head to use some sort of sealer anyway why not use a new gasket? What engine are we talking about here?

I have not been in your situation, but I've had good luck with Permatex products for most of my gasket sealant needs over the years:
You searched for head gasket - Permatex

I think he is referring to a stop leak he could put in the cooling system to stop a head gasket leak.

A head gasket leak that is leaking combustion gasses has to be fixed immediately.
I once was slow fixing a leak on a Yanmar diesel and it ate into the cast iron head.
It was an expensive lesson for a new (at the time) boater.

Replacing it is better than replacing pistons, rods, bearings, and valves.
