When you put crank cases together do you use gasket sealant as well as the Gasket or just the gasket
i have tryed both ways with no leaks just seeing what you think on this forum Thanks Gary
I have stripped down my engine a number of times, and assembled only with the gasket, and never used any sealant. No leaks so far. Trim the gasket with a sharp knife at the foot of the barrel.

I prefer using the gasket when the cases are in very good condition. If there are some suspect areas I use sealant.
I always use a thin smear of silicon sealant. Depends on the condition of your cases.
When ever i have rebuilt and scooter engine i have used new gaskets and a small amount of gasket sealer spread evenly around the casings
