I've seen both sealants recommended and I'm trying to figure out where the preference is.
So... Which product do you use for case sealing and cylinder to case sealing? Andy |

The Curil K2 can be used to seal the case halves and seal the cylinder to case. I have done this on a few with no problems. On the last few rebuilds I have used Dirko to seal the cylinders to the case. Whichever one you use to seal the cylinders to the case, you need to apply it to the cylinder and both sides of any shims between the cylinder and case.
