why go to all those lengths on building up a engine to skimp on a gasket.

do it right summeh - gaskets are there for a reason.

most engine builders now use silicone for the majority of the gaskets, it seals better and is easier to remove come disassembly.

Ben, do ya recommend any type of silicone stuff in particular??? would unibond multipurpose gasket seal surfice?

if you have a gasket, use it for ease if installation, i was only saying that using silicone is fine in itself.

But installing in situ is tight, and using silicone will make lifer harder.
