Some gasket sets even come with two tubes of the stuff. A few years ago I was getting "Elring" Gasket Sets without sealant. Sent them back to get "Reinz" gasket sets that usually come with the sealant. I think Elring got the message and are now providing sealant with their sets, but who knows? I only buy and sell Reinz sets. I'd use the sealant specified in Bentley. Don't know much about after-market sealants to use, cause I only used the OE stuff in my engine build last year.
