I had the LIM off my NA daily driver with no new gasket on hand. I had to use red RTV to get back on the road. I applied it like the directions said - an even coat on both surfaces and let it set before assembly - then use light torque. It has held for 8 months, but next time it WILL get a new gasket. (One time I'm glad it's not a turbo).
