I need to replace all the gaskets on the engine because I took the covers off to paint them. Has anyone replaced the gaskets and if so did you use a a pre tack glue before installing them or did you just bolt them in place and that was it with no leaks?

TIA

I installed them without any sealant, hasn't leaked yet

depending on where and what gasket a few call for some gasket tack or sealant

You should be mostly ok though

As long as the surfaces are clean you shouldn't need any glue but I typically use a Three Bond gasket adhesive at the case seams and a touch at the top of the gasket to keep it from falling down or moving while I put the cover on.

I haven't cracked the case open and I should be able to hold the gaskets in place while I tighten a few bolts. Sounds like I should be ok with out the tack glue.
