I've used them and found no real difference over a regular gasket with a thin swipe of RTV on both sides. As long as both sides of the surfaces are clean and not pitted the seal will be fine. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I bought the Mr Gasket chrome water neck that comes with the O-ring. I used the O-ring and have had no problems.
