make sure you wait for it to cure.  but no guaranty.

Use the old gasket and using a short stiff brush apply a thin layer of the black gasket stuff made by permatex that sells in tubes or aerosols. Let it sit until it has set up, otherwise is can be forced out by crankcase pressure. If you use any of the other silicone sealers set up time is even longer (hours longer) but they will work also. As I remember* the left side doesn't have any oil passages in it so you can probably make it reusable. Clutch side is more delicate and I would hesitate to try the additional sealer method on it. *I'm still in sunny AZ while the gasket is back in the parts drawer in Moses Lake or I would take a look at it.

Try it out.  If it leaks you'll know where the sensitive sealing areas are.

this may be all in vain due to the fact that I still have the heart out of her on the table and will be finishing up the paint tonight ot tomorrow. Oh, and cause I got the new gasket in the mail today... looks alot better than the stock one that was in there! Will pull the stuff I put on and just put the new gasket in... whats 20 mintues out of my day?
