So when i rebuild my mini engine is it worth buying a paper gasket set or can I just use RTV only on the joins? Most modern engines use sealant but do the inaccuracies of the old mini engines mean paper gaskets are more suitable for taking up slack? |

Use both. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

no sealant on the transfer housing. I prefer the idler tolerance to be good, which is hard enough to get with the cheep paper gaskets around at the moment... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Hylomar and gaskets. And like apbellamy said not on the transfer housing gasket, that one fit dry.

I've always used a very slight skim of sealant on the transfere case.

I don't put sealant on the box to block joins as it will enlarge the gap and effect the spacing between the primary gear and idler. Just a very light smear of grease to keep the gasket in place while you are dropping one onto the other. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
