Just wanted to note that I used the Supertec Sealant Kit on my rebuild these past few months. So far (20 min valve break-in) no leaks or issues.

I followed Wayne's book for the rebuild, except wherever sealants and such were concerned, where I used the instructions in the kit. For the gaskets, I laid down a bead and then smeared it with a gloved finger. Verified I had a small amount of squeeze-out along the entire edge.

Every mating surface was carefully cleaned, largely with a "plastic razor blade" tool and many blades, along with brake cleaner and 99% isopropyl alcohol.

With winter snow setting in, I'm not sure when I'll be able to do the full break-in on the road. I'll update with status later.
