Mine is on and you can't see it. Even for $5, I wouldn't think twice about it.

O-Ring = no mess, no fuss

That o-ring looks like the cats' a$$!! My experience with o-rings have not been pretty. For some god forsaaken reason they wind up with a loop at the end of insertion. Or to put it another way more oring than channel left over. Ok try this the fu&&er is too big for the application.!!

2500 and 3500's are not using gaskets AND RTV. Just a gasket (Re-usable one) and torque the cover on. No need for RTV and a gasket.
