Sound like you got her nailed.

I never use any sealant.
I just wash the VC in a pan of gas to clean off the gunk and grime. Then
spray it down with Carb Cleaner and air dry.

Wipe down the head where the gasket sits with carb cleaner or alcohol etc
to get it squeaky clean.

I use the gasket till I see them start to seep a little oil. Used the last one for 5 yrs.
Just recently replaced it with a Victor Reinz w/o any leaks like I read problems some guys have.

Some times getting the cover to drop right on can be a pita, then suddenly it drops on.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
