2005 Toyota Tacoma

6in Lift, 35in Off Road Tires

I have a 2005 Tacoma- I was watching a couple of Toyota Tacoma head gasket replacement vids- conveniently after I just replaced mine and left out RTV.. they put RTV right at the corners of the gasket- which I thought was a no no…
Can someone give me some insight here? RTV or no RTV on a head gasket on an 05 Tacoma?? (4.0L)
