No, use the gen vx gasket and vx parts. gaskets are pennys and false economy to use anything other. :y

Hi,
While I am sure we have all had to resort at some time to sealing compounds as a last resort, usually on a Sunday afternoon when everywhere is closed, BUT, it would be a much better idea to get all the correct "O" ring seals to do the job right.

I've never had any trouble to buy them in singles, although I usually buy 4 at a time.
