work meister 3 piece rebuild question

[scaredofstance]

I was taught to never put silicone on any mating surfaces. With that being said, I always torque down my bolts then run my bead of silicone.

that makes no sense, thats what almost everyone does do for head gaskets and such, why would a wheel be any different.

Sealant on a head gasket? You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Head gaskets come with a minuscule amount of sealant on them. Please refrain from giving advice on something you obviously know nothing about.

Whatever dude. People use silicone on head gasket covers all the damn time.
Hell its recommended for some vehicles.

I'm not giving advice, I'm asking a question last I checked.

Silicone on new head gasket is a big no no. But silicone on mating surface of the wheel in small amounts is the way to go if You don't have a gasket for Your wheel, and most multipiece wheels are made without gaskets.
