Gasket sealer is optional on most gaskets, and needed when the gasket maker says to use it. I like to spray coppercoat brand gasket sealer on headgaskets (just becausw I have never had one leak after using it, and it was recommended by my Mechanics Prof (who was an indy car crew engine builder in the 1950s)
HiTac cement used on one side of difficult gaskets allows easy alignment, and easier cleaning and removal (being on only one side. Permatex #2 non hardening is good for threads and small gaskets if used in thin application. Blue RTV is overused and weak under pressure. It is also applied excessively to poorley cleaned surfaces and squishes out into all sorts of trouble in hydraulic, and lube systems. It does make a good Akenpuckey for holes through a firewall or bulkhead where a wire goes through, but I don't use it much. Those are my inputs on the topic, good luck with your Cub, They are cool units. JimN
