Another TB question

I can't find a gasket for the plate on the throttle body anywhere. Think it would ok to use rtv sealant around the plate?

I wouldn't do it. They are sold on ebay, there are plenty of half assed people on here who will tell you "there is no harm" I prefer to do it right

Or if you still have the old gasket you can find a local place that sells the cork gasket material and you can make one
