Really? I've only resorted to using cork gasket material on my diff cover
because I can never get the RTV to form a good seal that doesn't leak. No
matter what I try, little, fair, lots of the stuff, it always ends up
leaking. Maybe it's my technique, I'm not sure. It's pretty easy to cut
the cork, so I just use that. Other times when I can get my hands on the
paper gasket material I'll use it because I like it better. When using
paper gasket, I'll skimcoat it with RTV just for good measure. That's the
only time I can use RTV and have it seal correctly.
