Re: exhuast plate gasket on FORCE 50

Hi Ozark <br />I have a factory manual, I also could not find any refrence as to sealant. I personly like a little goop on this area. This would of course depends on the type of gasket. Do your gaskets have the newer allready sealer stuff on them? If they are just standard gasket material, I might use a little permatex. As it dose not say to use sealer, you may not have to. Sorry I guess i'm not much help.
