Gaskets with "The Right Stuff" or just "Right Stuff"
I was able to locate all the leaks on my motor so I will be replacing the gaskets on the front cover, gear cover, side cover, oil cooler, transmission pan and power steering gasket. I have seen that alot of people recommend "The Right Stuff" but I wanted to know if i should use it with replacement gaskets or by itself? If I use it with the gaskets do I put the sealant on the gasket and let it set for a day or straight on the metal and let it set for a day? Thanks for the help.

In general, I like to either use a dry gasket by itself, or make a gasket entirely out of RTV.
The only time I would use both is if it was a situation where you are having a hard time keeping the gasket in place, during an install, in which case I would use a couple smal daps to keep it in position.
