[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 479535, member: 15465"] I don't use sealant, just make sure surfaces are clean & flat. Sealant just makes the next repair harder, IMO. Gaskets are designed to seal by themselves. If the surface is knarly then sealant would be justified. Permatex black stuff is good. Another tip is to run a tap into the threaded holes to clean out the crud. I also use a little antisieze on the screw threads but that is controversial due to the change in friction coefficient for torquing. Clean threads will help with the clamping & sealing. [/QUOTE]
