here is the now superceded Mil-Product spec for this stuff:
http://assist.daps.dla.mil/docimages...74/12/7194.PD9
you want type II, Class C. Manganese cure, faying surface grade
polysulfide.

There is now an SAE spec for this stuff, SAE-AMS-8802

Pro-Seal, beloved (not!) of many RV builders is the same chemistry,
just thicker. You could use the class A stuff, and thin it with
Toluene.

Another poster mentioned what sounds to me like Loctite Gasket
Eliminator, good for up to 200 deg Celsius. That oughta do it, and
it's a whole lot easier to find than the polysulfide.

Volkswagen engine builders use Gascacinch, Yamabond, and some german
goo who's name escapes me at the moment to seal similar faying surfaces.
