I've had excellent results using RTV gasket material. Follow directions and it works good. Don't over torque and allow it to set. Last couple FelPro / Chevy gaskets had rubber valve cover and oil pan gaskets.

A pre cured rubber gasket is gonna squish out and leak.
RTV and silicone is also an adhesive and thus works in many places. If you clean the mating surfaces with acetone, etc. Use that same rtv and silicone on two greasy surfaces and it too will squish out and leak. Try a bead of cured rtv or silicone as a gasket and it will squish out and leak. The gasketing described by J-Mech is retained mechanically by the item or the gasket assembly. Effectively turning the rtv/silicone into an o-ring. Without the special o-ring groove machining required. |

Just my 2 cents, I do what ever keeps the oil in, the dirt out and I hate leaks. Do what works for you.

If your ordering gasket material from McMaster Carr order a punch set for making holes, makes it s heck of a lot easier! Or if you have empty brass shell casings they can work too. I made a new pan gasket for my k301 just bought a roll from autozone. Still have a bunch left!

A company likes return customers better. If everybody was able to reuse their gaskets they would have very little sales in new gaskets.

Agree one hundred percent with that statement. Customers also want a gasket set that works well and lasts. Nothing more frustrating than a gasket set that is of poor quality material, poorly punched and cut. Years ago, I was playing mainly with the larger Ford farm tractors, buying gaskets and bitchin' at the quality. I was directed to the use of the gasket material in a tube and that is where I've been since. Granted, it is not for all applications but for many, it is very good.

For those of you who use RTV in place of a rear end gasket, any concern with the stuff flaking off into the oil? What about removal and cleanup when you do have to pull the cover off the rearend?

Not really. As long as you don't overdue it anyway. As far as cleaning it off later.... Die grinder and a wire wheel.

There are a lot of gaskets now days that are reusable. But..... they don't last forever. You can reuse them once or maybe twice and that's about it.

I use these on my jeeps. Great for a diff that you're into more than normal, reuse able trans and cover gaskets, over and over. Wish they made a cover gasket for our tractors, maybe worth a shot to ask? check them out.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
