[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 431636, member: 19498"] Far as silicone goes if you have non pitted or corroded mating surfaces then you really dont need to use any sealant. if you do be very sparing just enough to take care of any irregularities. Ive torn more stuff apart like diffs that had massive wads of silicone both on the inside of the covers and/or chunks floating in the lube from using way to much. Plus its slippery as all get out so it can cause gasket deformations if you go wild with it. I typically use the black or grey Versachem brand from Orieleys and have had no issues with it. IIRC they are 450 degree tolerant and the red is typically 650 and O2 sensor safe in exhaust applications. [/QUOTE]
