Installing a new gasket on my idle air control valve and wondering if I need to use RTV sealant or put it on dry?

I would think dry is fine. Only reason I ever put rtv on gaskets is for extra leak protection from fluids. I guess air is a fluid, but I don't think it would need it.

cut mine out of a gasket making kit i got local. got my iacv from a wrecking yard. 20bones instead of over 100.

 

also deleted the hose to the thermal element since mine hasnt worked in a million yrs and was leaking

well did a bypass loop i should say.

 

p.s. no rtv on gasket, works fine
