Hylomar is great for stuff that orig. did not have gaskets as well. Many
mnfgs recommend this for such things as rocker assy/to heads. The down side
to it, is that it is rather thin (not that you should be gobbing on the RTV,
either) and may not fill up pitted areas as well as the RTV. Also, if there
is warpage on either surface, RTV may be a better choice. In all, hylomar a
darn-good all around sealant. (And yup, it is the one thing that will seal up
a rotary, for those of us actaully silly enough to attempt it on a regular
basis. Gotta keep them corner seals in *somehow*!)
