Oops, correct my earlier statement. I went with gasgacinch this time
around on just about everything. Works like a charm. Especially on the
head intake gaskets. Should come off a lot easier than the other stuff
in the future. Cylinder head gaskets (dry) and cylinder base gaskets
(yamabond) excepted. I have a tiny bit of weep from the crank seal,
dunno exactly why that is. But not enough to really sweat over.

Technically, paper gaskets are supposed to go on dry. Using something to
hold (tack) the gasket in place is very helpfull. I'm personally a fan
of Hylomar or Gaskacinch (sp)I should know how to spell that.. Got the
girl tattooed on my arm! Hylomar is so easy to work with I've been known
to use a VERY thin layer on the gasket surface. Gaskachinch I just use
to tack the gasket.

In a few days I will be replacing my front engine seal due to a small
leak, and have a general question concerning the use of gasket sealer on
the timing cover gasket. Should I use something like Permatex on this
gasket? I asked one mechanic, and he recommended just using a little
motor oil, but I wanted to get the general consensus from the list.
