You can do anything you want, but personally, I would just wait a few days and order a new gasket. A gasket is cheap. Repairing an engine that has been damaged by an air leak, caused by a poor silicone seal, is not. Plus silicone usually bonds best on metal-to-metal surfaces and I don't know how well it will seal against plastic. Just my .02.
come on 442. you have gone all out on every other aspect of your build, don't start skippin steps on the cheap little stuff that will blow that thing up.
not skippimng just curious if i could do it that way as im told u have to silicone with a gasket anyways so what difference does it make if i dont use a gasket at all im not talking some cheap ass silicone here either i mean the grey dodge sh*t that they use to seal trans opans with no gasket from the factory u literally have to use a deadblow hammer to get those pans off
don't know that i would want to use a deadblow on my vf3 to get it off. LOL. I just look at a sealant as a secondary to a gasket.
My VF3s didn't seal with just the gasket, but I hate RTV so I use it as little as possible. I found Permatex Aviation-Form-A-Gasket to work quite well though. Highly gasoline and oil resistant.
I have heard that this is similar to yamabond.
