I installed a new bowl on my Groco HF-B last year along with a new Groco mfg gasket. It started leaking last weekend and tightening the bolts doesn't seem to be resolving it. I am being very cautious about the amount of torque and trying to keep it generally uniform around the bowl to avoid cracking the ceramic base. i didn't use any gasket sealer last year but, I'm wondering now if maybe I should have. No leaks last season except for an adjustment after initial installation. Thought I'd ask the forum before installing the new gasket.

Cornfuzed - R U saying when you teplacrdvthe bowl, you did or did not replace the gasket?
I haven't and no problems but it wouldn't hurt a thing to use some non hardening permatex.

I installed a new gasket when I replaced the bowl.
Thanks for your thoughts Ken.
