Any suggestions about sealers for the gaskets?
My tendency is to put them together dry and deal with the weeping.

I have zero leaks. Some people find the silicone oozing out objectionable, but it can be cut off with a razor. Over the road trucks have come from the factory with silicone for about 20 years or longer. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 769 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 769 | | | |
