Water Outlet gasket

[Ski_Extra]

Does anyone know if I should use sealant on the water outlet to head gasket?

Can't find anything in my book about it.

I always apply a very thin coating of Permatex (Loctite) aviation Form A Gasket to any cooling system associated gaskets. I don't think you guys have that brand over there. It's a thickish dark brown non hardening sealer which you coat the gasket with, allow to become tacky then fit together. I've used the stuff for many years and it's great. Maybe you have a similar product under another name.

This is the one. You should be able to buy a smaller size. A little goes a long way.
