We had an order going in to McMaster at work today so I just added a tube of 593. For $6 its cheaper than what a tube of ultra-black sells for locally. I'll just give the boss the $ and have it tomorrow.
The aftermarket gasket set I ordered may actually have gaskets for this, but the engine certainly did not and the service manual is quite specific on what, where and how much sealant to use.
Wonder why some manufacturers are specifying certain sealants, instead of just saying to get a high end oil resistant silicone? The Stihl silicone I used last year was for the crankcase halves on a saw I was rebuilding. Don't know if Stihl sells it to the public, had a friend that got it while working in a saw shop. Come to think of it he gave me a huge tube of some special sealant/silicone put out by Navistar (I think)--his next gig was a heavy truck/equip. mechanic.
