No sealant needed, although some people smear the gasket with grease, helps stop it sticking and tearing if you need to do any further work inside.

I got my tank back today. Im really pleased, it looks flawless. The colour may not be to some peoples taste but its exactly what I wanted.

Valentinik:
I got the cylinder head installed tonight along with the cam.



I had planned on fitting the rocker cover. When I removed the head I noticed the 6 rubber blanking caps had been installed with some sort of clear sealant. Do they need any sealant fitted or should they just sit in place?

Thanks
Mike.

Bryanj:
New rubbers should not need sealant but pattern ones sometimes need A VERY SMALL AMMOUNT.

DO READ THE MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE FITTING THE COVER or you WILL bend valves
