I'm re-fitting my timing cover and would like to know what is recommended  ... just the gasket, or gasket and goo, or just sealant, or a combination... what is best for a good seal?
Thanks in advance, Dave.

Recommencing installation of interior .. What are best options before fitting the new fitted carpet ?

Are members using sound deadening sheets, and if so, what type/ brand is recommended ?

...and as to underlay , what is recommended ?  I still have my old original fibre underlay ... what are members using ?

Are members using sound deadening sheets AS WELL AS underlay ?
