the 0 438 100 006 is on my 1975 s. while we are on the subject does anybody know if there was a sealant used between the 2 halves from the factory? i have one apart and i can't find any trace of sealant. maybe if it is torqued properly or the metal valve plate is re annealed will it seal?
i .can't imagine getting sealant on the two halves evenly. if i could thin something down i was thinking of spaying it on if in fact sealant was nessesary.

i have been searching for a definitive answer for this any help would be great

thanks
