Opti Sealing Question

Bought a new AC Delco Opti and am wondering if I should take it apart and RTV the casing seals? Or are the gaskets, as is, adequate?
I will Loc-Tite the rotor screws.

Thanx

Other than loc-titing the rotor screws, I would leave it "as is".

As I remember, I put a little RTV around the areas I thought might let water in the opti. With the venting I'm not worried about it any more.
