Gaskets
What is the best selant to make gaskets stay sealed longer? I have heard several different methods, from using no selant at all, to covering both sides of the gaskets in selant, or just putting a bead on one side. Usually, i give both sides of the gakets a light coat of Permatex blue RTV selant. It has worked pretty good in the past, but i did it on some valve cover gaskets and they leaked even worse about 2 months later. What kind of selant should i use? Red, black, or blue?
