Do you guys actually put a gasket in or just silicone for the 8.8 and 9.75? We always siliconed ford 9" when we assembled at quickperformance.

THanks

 

Silicone.. let it get tacky prior to mating the 2 surfaces...then let it cure before you fill.

 

that's what I figured. thank your sir

 

Strictly speaking, I used a gasket and created a seal with RTV to hold it in place. Months later, it's holding in place just fine with no leaking, I just don't know how much trouble I created for myself when I go to uninstall.

 

It will all have to be scraped off either way...

 

Your Welcome ...

 

I've always just used silicone. Perma-tex Ultra Black is hard to beat.

 

The best stuff...

 

For this application, I agree.

 

I just did the front and rear on my truck. Did a gasket with sealant on both sides of gasket in the rear and just the sealant on the front to see if either one is better. It's only been a little over a month but so far have not noticed a leak on either.
