    IMO paper (of any kind, thickness) should only be used on flat surfaces. Ive seen thicker paper type provided with alloy surfaces with a ridge. This is a potential area of faliure due to the ridge cutting the gasket. I have thrown the gasket and just used Permatex ultra Black.
    To be precise, Permatex #3 non hardening sealant

    I've used it too and never has a problem and matches the colour of alloy, less noticable than other colours

    I have used Loctite 515 before, and it leaked.
    I have used 3BOND 1104 on my motorbikes in the past, and it has worked well, thinking it might also work nicely on the Rover. What other variants of 3Bond has everyone used on their cars?

    if your using the gaskets XXX #3 non hardening sealant on both sides is the go.

    if your not..

    permatex RTV red, blue or grey applied correctly is about the best bet, the loctite versions of it are better and 3M is getting in on the game and their products while obscure arent to bad if you get them,'
