You need a gasket for the case half's in the rovans. I wouldn't trust just sealent, those motors are made soooo sloppy. Rovan sells gasket kits for like 4 bucks.

stock zenoha cases also use gaskets ??

Now if you got a nice billet obr case/motor you don't gotta worry about such things ??

From your experience I think you'll have no issue. Just pay attention to how it comes apart.Just be cautious putting the ring on the piston. Remember what way the piston goes...arrow faces the exhaust port. Use oil or some sort of lube that will burn off when installing the piston into the cylinder and let whatever sealant you use cure to the recommended time ...torque the head to the recommended spec and your good to go..also a business card works well for setting the gap for the coil?

All good thanks ! I test fitted the piston and ring to make sure they were good , used 2 stroke oil as a lube
