Pointy clutch cover gasket - RTV for water pump?
Morning all. The stock gasket has pre-applied sealant around the water pump inlet and outlet. My replacement gasket is just flexoid (gasket card). Should I apply from RTV around the water pump passages before buttoning it back up?

Re: Pointy clutch cover gasket - RTV for water pump?
I usually do but only a very thin smear if using non OEM gaskets. Blue Hylomar is good but can be a bit chewy to apply but most decent RTVs work well if correctly and sparingly applied and any excess wiped off where applicable.
