Use sealer on metal mating surfaces such as shee cases. Paper gaskets for cylinder base and side covers. I don’t grease. Seen people grease paper gaskets to make removal easy and reusable. I don’t I replace them. Made plenty of paper gaskets from soda and beer box cardboard over the years. Seen metal gaskets for heads…either a “crush” style or copper plate/copper washers…no sealer. In a pinch I’ve taken the copper gaskets heated them until they “glow” and reused as long as they weren’t cracked or brittle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Typicaly, banshee base gaskett are always paper. On smaller one cylinder setup, we often have metal base gaskett, thus the use of liquid gaskett on them.

Yamabond 4. Sealant on reed gaskets, clutch and water pump gaskets. Unless there are blemishes on the cases where the crank and tranny seals go i wouldnt put sealant on those, just a high temp grease
