We are building a basic 2056 with a mild cam, nothing fancy. Is there a source for the sealing nuts that tie the crankcase together?

Without getting too lost in the nuanace. Time for facts and definitions.
https://www.differencebetween.com/differenc...v-and-silicone/ RTV is Room Temperature Vulcanizing is a generic term. Key thing is that 100% Silicone and similar high Silicone content products are not a cross linked polymer. 100% Silicone is way more prone to creep vs. Engineedred RTV products like Yamabond, HondaBond, Loctite SI 5900, Permatex, or other proprietary formulations when used properly (i.e. sparsely). As Mark Implied, there are the proper use of sealants, and then there are those that feel "more is better" which isn't the case and is basically where I was coming from with my OP against Silicone specifically. As stated in a previous post about why there are so few engine builders around, I have nothing but respect for Mark and guys like him building engines for a living. So in no way is this response to be interpreted as a critcism of Mark. |
