Quality Gaskets
Is any one gasket manufacturer better than another? I'm planning to order a primary gasket to replace the current one, which leaks slightly at the bottom rear.
Also, any favorite gasket sealants? I know it's a Shovel, but I'd sure like to stop the leak.

Great info - thanks guys!
If I'm just pulling the cover, do I only need the individual primary cover gasket?
Looks like there are Cometic primary kits with multiple gaskets and seals for $70 at JP Cycle. Cometic has the individual gasket at $33 on their site. If I need to consider any other gaskets when I pull the cover, I may as well go for the kit.

to add to that we keep all of our gaskets in freezer zip lock bags to keep them as fresh as possible - bigger bags like a primary some come in re sealable bags
you can write on the plastic bag the OEM part number and what it fits

Also, can this stuff be used with any gasket (not including O rings)?

yamabond # 4 is all we use semi hardening and works on threads < best ever used
Loctite ultra gray the black one they sell is a adhesive type also a must have
gaskets / o ring threads - and worn out shafts like a farm tractor you can fill the back of a seal the spring lip let it dry 2 days it will seal a groove and not leak again as it make the seal tighter on the shaft
