Some gaskets may be out of production. If so silicon jel can be used in cases where heat is not a problem. Before you apply silicon you must completely clean the grease with a scraper and a brush (on a drill motor if possible). After all visible grease and gasket adhesive have been removed, wash with Acetone on a rag. Completely clean and allow to dry. Silicon works when both surfaces are solid, not tin. A piece of cut gasket may work best if one side is tin. Use aftermarket gaskets if you can get them. (For those that are skeptics, Silicon Jell was the gasket of choice for truck rear axel ends. Break jobs on trucks require that the rear axels be pulled in many cases. We learned that paper gaskets would simply squirt out and leak in use. I was told by an old experienced truck mechanic to use the silicon and leave off the paper gasket. It worked and never failed.)
