    I just caught this thread a little late. I had leakage problems with the Z1 gaskets, so I went back to the OEM gaskets. No sealant but I thoroughly cote both sides of the gaskets with dielectric grease no excess. I have not had leakage problems but the reason I do this is the gaskets always come loose without leaving anything on the carburetor bodies or bowls if you are careful when pealing them off for replacement when rebuilding the carburetors.
    I always grease paper gaskets and as well as the obvious ease of removal and possible re-use the grease actually helps seal the gasket against "wicking" which reduces or stops oil and fuel being drawn through the gasket material.
