ok would sealer help it to be on the safe sside or it really doesnt matter, ive had my share of taking this truck apar tthis week, and wand to do it right the first time, thanks for the quick reply.

you could use the sealer if you really want to play it safe, but theres no need, if you want to make sure it dunt leak, then go ahead its not going to hurt it, just put it on the crack after you put the carb on, so you wont get that stuff inside

I would put it on. Better to already have know it's sealed than have to pull the thing out later because it's leaking.
