Replacing fuel pump...gasket sealant?

I've seen Sportster cases with freaking orange RTV juicing out of where the cases split.... actually my HD service manual recommends that Indian Head shellac on some spots.. most everything on the top end of an iron head you do dry rocker boxes and jugs anyhow
i see orange RTV on anything and i immediately add 2hrs to a RO

some people just want to watch the world burn, others giddily throw fuel directly into that fire.
