replace supercharger tube "nut" with "V" bands or compression clamps?
I have the supercharger out (replacing leaking rocker cover gasket). I've read here that you can replace the tube seals with RTV. Several different RTV's seem to be favored.... Is there a "best" one to use?. Anyone find a "V" band that will fit the tubes and eliminate the "nuts"/clamps OR are the Factory clamps and the combination of RTV and Factory clamps the giving longest lasting seal... I'm thinking we want a good seal on the tube mating services... Searching, it looks like some just re-use the existing seal and I see a teflon seal kit is available for about $20...
