i pulled it apart again last night the surface was clean but I cleaned it again to get any oil i could off.i then put a thin layer of the rtv on the gasket itself and a little layer on the problem area just to be safe I also did the upper split as well. upon inspection I also found a small leak at the tensioner gasket. since I did not have a spare gasket I applied a little rtv on that used gasket as well. lets hope this thing is oil tight. I really do not feel like fighting the darn rings back into that cylinder again it was a pain in the neck. I tried to go sparingly with the trv I personally hate when I see peoples work with big globs of it sticking out of gasket areas drives me nuts.
