I have read up on the various threads regarding pump sealing that people do to fix cavitation issues and the sometimes subpar sealing from the factory. My question is this: should everyone just seal the gaps in the intake tunnel with 5200 just as a matter of course? Seems pretty easy (if a bit messy) to do and that everyone will eventually need to do this at some point. Is my line of thinking correct? Can it screw anything up?

I'm also curious. Mine is not sealed but I do not have any cavitation problems either.
