Hi guys - I’m replacing the spark plug well gaskets while I have the cam covers off my DOHC 4.6 in my wife’s 2005 Aviator. These are the little donut-looking gaskets that seal the cam cover to the head in the spark plug well.
Mine have been letting oil weep into the wells, so while I’m doing the timing chain/tensioner/guide job I figured why not do these and the cam cover gaskets too.
So my question is - should I use a small amount of black RTV on these plug well gaskets to help them seal better? I’m thinking NO, but figured some of you have been down this road before.
Thanks
Ron
