i didnt see where any one had said to file the outlet to make sure its flat. run a flat file across the gasket surface to make sure there are no high/low spots. torque the bolts. this way you wont distort the outlet by monkey pawing the bolts in. i dont use any RTV or silicone of any kind. if the surfaces are clean dry and flat it will seal.
