I'm in the middle of replacing a timing chain (which for me is a two-weekend process, owing to while-I'm-at-it-itis and a general lack of free time) and was about to order a timing chain cover gasket. It seemed the natural thing to do, but then I remembered that a lot of you use just RTV to seal various things.
The question is: can I use RTV in place of a gasket here, or is this something I had better use a real gasket for? If I can get away with just RTV, what flavor of RTV should be used?
(Yes, I have a new front main seal for the timing cover...)
Thanks!
