new clutch cover gasget ,do i use a gasget sealer?

[jo jo]

i just picked up a clutch cover gasget from mikes xs. Wondering if i use a sealer of some tsort...

 

[pamcopete]

No. Using a sealer will more than likely cause a leak because the cover is a perfect fit.

i put sealer on the cover side to keep it from flopping around during install. no leaks.
i used yamabond.

I put a very thin layer of yamabond on both sides of the gasket, took care to keep the coat light.and even. did this before and just a few taps with a rubber mallet pops the cover back off. no leaks at all and its my work vehicle
