Paste. Tape can clog a solenoid. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bomb]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" />

Another vote for paste. It worked pretty well on my kit.

Paste is alright.Defintly do not use tape. But the best way is a medium grade lock tite.Thats what I use.Its alot cleaner.Works like a champ, and no its not hard to pull apart.

I was considering using some blue gasket maket originally, but ended up getting some paste instead. Thanks for the tips guys <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
