When reading older posts I notice allot of thumbs up for The Right Stuff gasket maker. Many posters say to apply a small layer on a paper gasket and install. The instructions I read say no other gasket is required. It says just make a bead around the perimeter and around the bolt holes and install.
My leak is from my water neck. I started with an aluminum one. It leaked. Removed and sanded it straight and re-installed with gasket and rtv. Leaked again. Changed to a auto parts store steel one that is chromed (I can't seem to find a steel paintable one), installed with gasket and rtv. Leaked again. Removed, cleaned, and installed with 2 gaskets and rtv. Leaked again.
I bought a tube of this product and am going to give it a try without a gasket unless someone has a reason not to.
