I use that sealer and that sealer only without any type of gasket and have had no issues as of yet. Works great. $20 for 8 oz. though. You don't want to see what my motor looks like adam. I didnt even paint it. I just wanted it together and running. No time to watch the paint dry. Ill see if Gilmore has some pics of it. How bout you trade me out one like you have shown. Then when someone pops the hood they can tell who made it or ask who made it. Right now they are like " Wow, what a rusty red neck" haha! Oh well. In the off season I am gonna make her look pretty I suppose!:rockwoot:
