First, I'm a very firm believer in modern RTV silicone sealers in place of gaskets in most places. I buy a gasket or make one only when there's a compelling reason not to use RTV, such as when a critical clearance is maintained by the gasket thickness, etc.
That being said, is there any reason not to use RTV for the front crankcase plate, injection pump mounting and pump gear cover? The Super MD has a slight oil leak that I believe is the pump gasket, but may be the front crankcase plate. I'm just wondering if I should buy gaskets before I tear into it.
