Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I always used a gasket and put a light bead of black silcone on and smear it on with my finger and wipe off the extra. Makes sure you clean the mating surfaces make them spotless and you should ne good to go. i never used the rightstuff on the third member it should seal fine on it on with or with out a gasket but if you ever have to take the pumpkin out to clean it it will give you hell.

I prefer a gasket/permatex #3, many prefer sealant/no gasket & if so make sure you have a uniform bead around the perimeter expecially on the insides of the studs. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
