Modern gaskets are best installed with all surfaces and the gasket clean and dry.

When needed this product http://www.gasgacinch.com/ is excellent for keeping a gasket in place, whilst getting the pieces together.

I'll use the Hylomar if I need goo. It was the only thing that could be used to seal RX7 motors after you cut away enough material to prevent running the O ring all the way around the chambers. Tested and proven in many racing vehicles and used on certain street machines too. Remains flexible for it's normal life time and withstands the high heat loads that it would have encountered in those engines while racing. And these were not tear them down after every race engines either.

Greg,

I assume you talking about pro-seal...Good stuff, but it is a total pain to remove. It also bonds the 2 surfaces. If you used it as a gasket, make sure you have a way prying the 2 pieces apart. With that said, Its truly awesome.

The Universal Blue was the stuff, but they are probably using the Racing version when they cut the RX7 inlet port to where the O ring can no longer be used. The original was said to remain "liquid" so clean up wasn't that bad.

I might go with the Aircraft grade to I can say I'm using airplane parts to make it go faster

I use pro-seal, B 1/4, sikaflex, etc in Aviation applications on a regular basis and have just one question. Why would you use anything like that on a motorcycle?

The stuff is designed to be element-proof at 600 mph in sub-freezing temperatures. Some of it is specifically designed to be electrically conductive at the same time. Is there really anything on your bike that needs to be sealed that well?
