Someone smarter will chime in, but here’s my two bits- after I get it shimmed, I don’t add a sealant that can increase thickness or set up and then tear with the stress at that area. Someone here said to use light grease between shims, gasket and surfaces instead of the non-drying permetex stuff I’d used in the past. That’s been working ok, oozes a little. Definitely don’t use silicone that increases gasket thickness. I see blue silicone used a lot, always leaking. Here’s a good write-up:
