forgot to answer this part in your PM, I used high temp rtv and the
gasket combined in combustion chamber. if using rtv alone, I'd try to
apply a good layer, let sit a bit, then assemble but not tighten
screws too much until RTV cures a bit more, then tighten down. kinda
making your own gasket.

Hi all.

Have others used hi temp RTV in place of the intake and exhaust
gaskets at combustion box?

I know it works on the combustion box, but since the flame is
basically right beneath this gasket, am curious.

Thanks,

Neil.
