Plumbing sealant .. if its red could be "Stag"
Used to use it on the pushrod tubes on my AJS500, moved onto using Heldite.
This was a time before men on the moon and Silicon sealant was readily available.
If you do get all keen and make a copper gasket I'd probably use the likes of Copper Coat.

But I wouldnt go copper, I'd use high heat, high pressure material from Blackwoods Paykel like I said before
