Do you guys use and sealant on any gaskets? I know gaskets are gaskets but I do NOT want any leaks so should I use some "The right Stuff" or not????

I used some sealant on the oil pan gasket but probably not needed. Just a habit when I put engines together. Also I have used some rtv on my intake manifold gasket because I blew my stocker out.

well, i'm personally not a big fan of gasket maker. If your surfaces are clean and free of oil, you should be safe to use good quality gaskets.

make sure you follow a torque sequence.
