front cover no gasket or with gasket
 
Im finishing up a rebuild. Front cover gasket is from atkins .Missing one hole, so i either wait for a new one or seal it with three bond .I work for subaru and we use no gaskets, all silicone with no issues .Any one with experiencr on this? 93 rx7

I would just wait on a new gasket. Front cover has a oil gallery in it for the the omp ,omp drive gear and oil pressure relief . Getting rtv in any of them can cause a failure.

Metal Front Cover Gasket ideally, or standard OEM paper, with a thin layer of silicone on each side.

You're asking for trouble with no gasket, that will not seal properly. Fixing that on a running FD with the block in the engine bay ain't fun :)
