Default Use a rear cover gasket?
I've got a Moser 12 bolt with a TA cover. Should I put another gasket back on or just use some RTV?

You can use either but I prefer to do the gasket.

I use gasket. I don't like RTV much for some things. Gets hot....-peels. Eventually. If RTV was a wonder-stuff....don't you think Top Fuel Dragsters would use more of it..to seal Heads..Pumps..etc... THEY DO NOT.
