Hey Guys,
Just wondering if it is recommended to use a sealant with the gasket between barrel and engine cases.
Cheers,

Hylomar between the barrel & gasket ( glues it in place )
Wheel bearing grease between the gasket & cases ( strips clean )

I took a barrel off a bsa once and found a gasket made of thick polythene andrew.h.

I use clear silicone on the barrel base gasket...but it's really just a question of preference for a particular sealant. I also use silicone on the tappet plate, sump plate, crankcase to primary inner primary gasket, crankcase joint, clutch cover gasket and footrest and primary outer corks.
I use a smear of light grease on the oil pump gasket and timing cover, both of which have oilways through them which could be blocked by 'stray' silicone..Ian
