Does anyone here NOT use sealant on gasket surfaces. I rebuilt my SC from crank up 3-4 yrs ago. Followed Waynes recipie for sealing the case religiously.
But for all the gasket surfaces I used no sealant.
Just made sure they were true and clean. My Dad was an engineer and taught me that an oil proof gasket should be enough, unless there is an issue.
I know using the gunks is good insurance, and if was doing a shop job for a customer, I would not want it coming back for an oil leak.
But am I the only one not using sealant on gasket surfaces? If you do have to pull anything apart again, it is a quick and easy job. If I had to pull it for a leak, if I could not identify a cause, I'm sure I would use sealant.
My SC is still leak free.
Regards
Alan
