<DIV>I was taught the RTV trick by an engine builder decades ago. Even later I
found a front sealing block that didn’t even have the slot for the woody wedgies
and was installed with a complete RTV seal.</DIV>

<DIV>I continue to use the wood pieces with success. Hey... it's a British car.
You need wood somewhere!</DIV>

<DIV>i’ve used the black neoprene with no issues - they did require some
trimming. Lots of permatex ultrablack.

<DIV style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px">The new Payen gasket sets
appear to come with neoprene pieces in place of the conventional wood wedges
for use on the front sealing blocks, Spitfire and TR6 related. These
neoprene pieces suck for lack of a better term. Years ago a local
British shop commented that he didn't use the wood wedges, he used RTV in
place of them. Has anybody here used RTV or "The Right Stuff" to fill in
the voids in place of the wood wedges with success, or failure for that
matter?</DIV>
