Subject:Gasket sealant
From:Karl Wolz

I've got the cylinders out and honed.  I'm doing some final cleanup before
reassembly.  Whoever did the engine last time used sealant on darn near
every gasket, and it's been a bear to clean everything up.

My question?  Which gaskets go in dry and which get sealant.  I'm using an
Elring gasket kit which came with a 20 ml tube of "Dirko - S elastic
universal sealing compound".  Where do I use this besides the head sealing
gaskets?

TIA
