Re: V/C Gasket Sealant

[Ron Pieper <rapieper@yahoo.com>]

I second that.  Use only Hi-Tack for the V/C gasket,
if you want to (it just holds it in place but is not
the goopy RTV, which can clog up oil passages if it
gets inside the engine).

I installed my rubber gasket dry on my Cabby and no
leaks whatsoever.
