So, I have read several posts and watched several videos to do with engine rebuilds. I am wondering what people recommend for the engine case sealant. In Jake Raby's video, he used Aviation gasket sealer, which I have used on other applications with great success.
That being said, this is my first type IV build, so I am seeking input from those who have done their own builds. I would like to know what you used, why and pros and cons. Thanks for any input...... |

Like 914Sixer, I used Permatex gasket sealer when I rebuilt our Super 90 engine. It seems to have worked fine, but it has only run on an engine stand. Conventional wisdom seems to be leaning to Loctite 574. There is a really great read on Porsche Crankcase Sealant over at Klassik ATS. |
