Should I do standard (metal?), or graphite (apparently offered if you source for an exploder)?
Do you guys like to use the rubber pieces provided for the ends, or simply spread a generous bead of "the right stuff" silicone gasket maker?
And speaking if silicone, where do I silicone it, and where don't I, so it doesn't ever, ever leak in the next 20 years?
I want to do this right, and I know others have had problems getting their lower gasket to seal completely/ stay sealed. It's got those opposing angles, not so direct a clamping force as headgaskets say.
thanks!
