I didn't have no gasket except for the old RTV I had to scrape off, I just used the red/orange or whatever color it is for my gasket and I don't have any leaks.

yeah I was a bit nervous when I saw the orange stock stuff, (Original own. didn't touch it) And I picked up the blue rvt but it's all good . Question how much of that 3rd quart should be used?? I stuck my 1st knuckle and felt oil so I stopped putting it in. I went just over two quarts.

thats about right. doesnt really matter how much you put in as long as it fills up to the check hole
