Re: Silicone gaskets
If you use silicone gasket cement, designed for automotive use, and a gasket, use just a small amount, just enough to wet the surface of the gaskets. Use your finger to smear a small amount on the gaskets, just a light film.
If there is a small amount of oil film on the parts the silicone will not stick and will make removing the parts later on easier.
Back in the day, grease was used as a gasket cement for race cars as they were taken apart after each race. It made it easier to remove the parts.
