Almost every plan I have seen on small steam engine's they use paper gaskets. I am just curious why we can't use High Temp Silicone such as Nuflex 302, it withstands temp up to 500 degrees, its what is used for many new car engines instead of gaskets.
Even my Hot Rod engine the exhaust manifold, intake, water pump, oil pump, pan where all put on with the above.
Just curious why its never mentioned in regards to our small steam engines.
