HOW TO INSTALL A 9-INCH THIRD MEMBER INTO A HOUSING | EXPLAINED 

I've used all types of felpro without rtv. No leaks at all. They know what they're doing when they design these gaskets.

Silicone and a gasket is redundant. Silicone can let a gasket slid and squeeze a little till it tears. Gasket is totally fine if you remove any burrs. Allowable on some components to use black trim cement and glue the gasket down then let it dry completely before assembly. If you glue it put it on the punkin so it's easy to remove with a biscuit gun. Two flat surfaces require paper gasket OR silicone. Two surfaces with a groove or grip rail uses a DRY cork gasket like most auto transmissions.

@@onetransmission7871 gasgacinch is not silicone. Please pay attention to what I asked/stated. Many top manufacturers and racers use gasgacinch and put it in their install instructions. Where I learned about it, not make it up. Some require 2-3 light coats on new gaskets before the install with cure time between each coat.

Just a couple hundred times.
