Regarding the Hylomar, I've acquired my tube (same stuff that hand, pictured above is holding) and will be using it on many of the gaskets that were previously lightly coated with 574...as described earlier in this thread.

I'm up to almost 17,000 daily driven miles and while I'm not leaking any oil on my floor, a few gaskets have started to appear a tad saturated with oil, and are close to weeping. I'm pulling my engine to upgrade some clutch components, so this will be a "while I'm in there". So I'll be redoing the chain box to engine case gaskets, the chain cover gaskets, and the cam backing plate gaskets...all to be new and coated with Hylomar. Oh well, I guess I needed an excuse to practice cam timing, again!
