For those who think RTV is the way to go DONT DO IT. Im working on a Z1900 I picked up at an estate sale and have been tearing the engine apart for inspection. I discovered that the PO decided to forgo the gaskets and use RTV. He also used RTV to seal the cases and for good measure also used RTV on every seal he replaced.
DONT DO IT, in fact throw that shit away. Very few things I use it on. This is what I found in the sump screen, oil passage, seals and what came off the covers.
