It doesn't cure hard
Temperature stability: -40°C to +200°C. In engine maintenance many sealed joints are required above all to be easily separable or disassembled. Curil K2 meets this requirement: it does not cure. Curil K2’s low viscosity makes it ideal for sealing finely finished and superfinished components whose prescribed tolerances are not allowed to be changed. Joints sealed with Curil K2 remain leak proof under mechanical, chemical and thermal loads and yet are still easy to separate. These special advantages mean that Curil K2 can be used for joints between identical or different metals, threaded seals, etc. Curil K2 is resistant to mineral oils (also with additives), greases, hot and cold water, seawater, gases and air. Application Clean and degrease the sealing surfaces. Apply Curil K2 and leave for 5 – 10 minutes before fitting the parts together. Processing temperature: +5°C to +30°C. Their other product Curil does cure ... |

It won't; that's the beauty of the stuff. It's a non-hardening sealant. Therefore it won't set-up (like an RTV does) and block oil passages like other sealants can if picked-up by the pump.
GREAT stuff!! |
