**Gasket or just RTV is the Question**

I talked to my Chevy buddy. He uses the Ford 9" Exclusively in all his cars.
He say's he uses a good bead of Ultra Black on the housing side making sure to go around all the studs then he uses regular flat washer and a locking on top of that. He said he has been doing that for years without any leaks at all using no gasket.

There is proof posted here in this tread that you can skin this cat many different ways with excellent results.

He runs his cars very hard. Here are a few pictures.
I know they are Chevy's but he builds some beautiful wicked fast cars.

The Red NovaII runs 8.50's all day. 505BB NA
The Black Nova runs 9.30's 383 Stroker on a 400Hit of NOS
The other Red Nova, I forgot what it runs.
