good for you 200

I don't just work on cars, I fix them. Every day. I do alright.
If you use silicone, why use a gasket? Silicone is used far too much by people who do not understand its properties. What is the single most effective solvent for softening RTV silicone?. Gasoline.
Use silicone or a gasket, but not both.
Volvo green manuals specifically state that no sealers of any kind are to be used with their gaskets, particularly with the turbo engines. That's good enough for me.
