"This is what Permatex recommends:
www.permatex.com/products/gasketing...ermostat-rtv-silicone-gasket-maker-5-oz/"
I didn't read "big block Mopar" anywhere there.
Anyhow, I don't want to "make" a gasket, I just want to coat/seal the gasket.
Personally I don't think RTV and a cardboard gasket are meant to go hand in hand. I'm leaning towards the Permatex red stuff in the spray can. Wouldn't have even asked the question if I'd had the thing in my hand at the time.

Paper gaskets go on dry, with a thin smear around any areas adjacent to water that may show corrosion or pitting.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I use the above Permatex Blue on everything that touches coolant (intake, thermostat housing, water pump/housing, hoses, etc.). It's kind of hard to find it anymore in stores in the larger tube, so I usually buy the smaller tubes and have them on hand.

Shouldn't WHAT fluid the gasket and sealant are sealing against be considered? Personally, I never put any gasket on dry anymore. If nothing else, I use Permatex's version of Hylomar. But never dry. If you have good luck with gaskets sealing dry, then by all means keep doing it. But I got broke of that a long time ago.
Master, again and still

...I use Permatex's version of Hylomar. Whoa, hold on Permatex dropped that license years ago. Did they restart again? I had to order a tube from England, but it is worth every penny.
