No. Gasket sealer needs a gasket to work.

You can MAKE gaskets out of bulk gasket material, or even thin cardboard, for a lot less than you can buy them. Both gaskets should cost you <$5 total if you make them.
 
Dewey,the dsifference between the 'boughten' gasket and the homemade one is only about 5 bucks......a McDonalds hamburger.Do the job right and it will pay for itself.'Halfa$$' it and it will leak (or worse) or risk doing it twice.
 
Ive gotten caught without a gasket more than once, sunday afternoon, not available, ect and silicone has worked just fine. Tractor pullers don't know what gaskets are and they have some of the cleanest, driest tractors around.
 
Yes. Use Silicone but properly clean with Acetone before you apply and beware of the purist that will tell you that you are doing inferior work. Not so. Ask any mechanic who does big truck rear breaks. A gasket will not seal an axel end but Silicone will. Sometimes cheaper is also better.
 
Gasket sealer, no. Silicon gasket maker, yes. I can remember way back in about 1980, I was working on a 1979 Chevy truck, and much to my surprise, I found silicon on the valve covers instead of a gasket. FROM the FACTORY.
 
I found it on the oil pan on a Chevy Citation. It never leaked. I pushed a putty knife along the engine block and it popped off. Hal
