Geez the difference would be less than quater a millimetre Chris. Considering the Gasket is a bee's dick over that. I doubt that would make a difference. But who knows for sure.

I agree. The gasket is a designated spacer of known thickness, where the silicone is anyones guess and if too thin may not seal for long anyway.

Silicone/Silastic would better seal pitting I would imagine?

Can see the point, however the gasket is a surface seal, clamped with uniform pressure - or it should be if the thing is torqued correctly, so in theory, the pitting would be covered unless it goes to the edges of the hole and you have a channel from inside to outside, then a liquid seal would be better. Solid gaskets are not designed to deform as such, more cater for surface roughness values at best - I know sounds contradictory, but they will deform on a smallish level, not fill up depressions.

Replaced the filter in my ProVent catch can. Old one looked OK for 80,000klms, the recommended replacement frequency.

I swap mine out at every 5k service and wash the old one ready for the next change. They obviously last longer than 5k but I just made it part of my service so I dont forget about it.
