Gasket sealer

[Gary H NC]

Does anyone know if the brush on type aviation gasket sealer is ok to use on the powerhead base gasket for my V-6 crossflow?

Thanks

Re: Gasket sealer

Many base gaskets come with a heat activated sealer on them and must be assembled dry.

Thanks Ezeke. I ordered the gasket from BRP so i will wait and see what it looks like.
The GLM gasket i have is just the common paper gasket.
Another good reason to use OEM!

It looks like the original gasket had some type of sealer but it was a yellow kind of color to it.Must have been a coated gasket.
