Hi folks,
me again,

last time, when I changed the t-belts and the cylinder head gaskets, I went "pristine".
meaning no additives on the gaskets, nor in the rubber ones.

Although probably because of the bike's age a little drop of oil can be seen here and there.

So a friend of mine recommended me to use gasket sealers, for both the cylinder heads and for the rubber seals on the head covers (and t-belt cover).

The question is, based on your experience,
which seal are best to use in each case?

Thank you,

Head gaskets OEM only, nothing just clean flanges really well, valves covers a little sealer may help but don't over tighten..you'll snap a bolt they can wrap and no gasket will stop the leaks, timing belts nothing in there.. no oil or water if there is you have a bad cam or crank seal or face gasket.
