Never even thought of that. Awesome little trick John. Thanks

I was always taught not to use silicone w/ cork gaskets. Is this inaccurate?

@MrGuvEuroman I'm not John, but that grey stuff sets up hard.

Is that the thing that keeps oil from leaking?

Cause I think oil's leaking out of mine cause smoke keeps coming out from under the gasket

[MrGuvEuroman]

John thats excellent!

Is the "grey" sealant setting or non setting?
