I use a cork sealer and Indian head gasket glue. Never had a leak. Just don't over tighten the bolts. Snug them up a little over hand tight and let the Indian do the work. Great stuff.

Yep.....paint that stuff on and stick it. Never gave me problems. Just be careful with the bolts. Cork is really easy to squash.

I always use the black rtv for oil pans, most oil resistant. Dont crank down on them little bolts either.
