Gauger said: (quoted from post at 19:20:36 09/09/08) I'm getting ready to put the cover on my SH, what about the paper gasket? Any need for additional sealer with the gasket?
When those tractors where built it was common practice to use paper gaskets to seal joints. Paper gaskets tend to get brittle with age and eventually some lube will come through the joint. Gasket sealers do not do much to change that since the gasket material is the problem. Coating both sides of the gasket with grease will help keep the gasket pliable and for that reason can extend the life of the gasket. For long term sealing, using RTV Silicone without any gasket will form a seal that will not wick lube through the joint like a paper gasket does.
