Didn't think about that engine. Yep, just like the DT466's. They used a gasket though. I was thinking the dry adapter housings. I took one off a Cummins the other day. It was a dry housing and it was silicon'd on. Couldn't figure out why they did that..... Oh well.

I'm sure the stuff would be fine.
