Head gasket sealant question

OK...I'm ready to start putting my engine back together. Does anyone
know if there's anything out there you can use to make sure there's a
good seal on the head gasket when I put the new one on. For instance I
was wondering if you could use some of that high temperature Permatex
gasket maker stuff to make sure the thing was sealed for sure. I don't
want to put it on and then find that there's a leak afterwards.

Also what do you use to clean up the camshaft, Pistons, etc? I calle
NAPA and they quoted me 125 USD for a five galllon jug of "parts
cleaner". That seems very expensive and I don't know if I should use it
without harming something.
