crank spacer seal question

I have the internal balance spacer,fits nice and snugg against timing gear. The outer surface is sealed by the timing cover front seal, what do I use between the spacer and crank surface. I was going to use RTV before installing it to make surre I have no leaks. Is this what you guys are doing.

I've never used any sealer on the spacer.

Ok just seems like oil would find its way out from there but maybe I need to look at it again. Cant see it too good from Iraq. thanks

Thats why there's a seal in the front cover

I understand what your asking,and these guys are right,nothing goes there,nothing needed,if you are worried about a oil leak there put a little silly cone behind the dampner washer,and dampner,but thats not needed there either
