    I got my new aluminum felpro lim gaskets and I wanted to know if any of you guys just used the black rtv that came with the gasket set or did you use something else?

    I just used whatever, be it the tube in some of the kits or some grey or black rtv that I had laying around. Even the orange stuff will work.

    I usually use black, this last time while doing my cam swap I only had grey and it works fine too.
