    I've read that a little RTV on the O-Rings helps the metal ones seal better, might not hurt. Probably not necessary though, my metal ones were put on with motor oil as a lubricant and no RTV, and haven't leaked at all.

    Once I switched over to using the GM o-rings they seal much better than what comes with them.
