I use Superformance gaskets. Then I used Ultra black and rub it in the gaskets, no leaks.

Ultra Grey RTV. We've run the car 10 years this way. It's been apart for maintenance. It's been together at least 3 years at a time between maintenace. Never had a leak. No weepage seen during disasembly either. Used to use gaskets. Some times they'ld leak. Been at the track many times when others have had when using gaskets on a plate. Doug x2

Any thing that guys over think on. If I run my engine in the race car past three years I do a little winter maintenance and take the engine plate and water pump off, clean it, and reseal it. Gaskets or No Gaskets it’s part of my program. Easy-peasy. Don’t overthink it.

No gaskets and Right Stuff. Let it cure 24 hrs before you add coolant. You'll need an air hammer to get it apart.
