[AT] Did we freeze up again?

[Mike]

I've been using Hi-Tack on both the gasket and the metal mating 
surfaces. The only problem I have with it is that it is messy to use and 
easy to over apply. The other day I replaced the oil filter housing 
gasket on my MF 255. I didn't have a gasket so I made one out of a roll 
of gasket material I had. I used the Hi Tack and everything seemed fine, 
snugged the bolts up, no leaks. After about an hour of running I notice 
it's hemorrhaging oil down the side of the block from the gasket. I 
grabbed a socket and was able to snug the bolts up a little more, and 
the leak stopped. I didn't tighten them any tighter that I did the first 
time, so I wonder if the stuff shrunk a little.
