Would this sealant be okay to use to seal my case? I read somewhere to not use silicone based sealant. I wanted to put my case together this weekend and don't really want to order sealant, unless I have to. Is there any reccomended sealant that I can pick up locally?
Thanks, Rod Attached image(s)

Through the years I have used many types. I currently use GM part #1052943. Its made by permatex, red in color. We use it to seal the Cadillac Northstar V8 lower case & crank cradles, works great no leakee. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Jake uses the aircraft sealant. Buy that local. Use what's proven on hundreds of engines.

We used to use it on transmissions. Its expensive though. |

Thanks, Rod DO NOT USE SILICONE ON CASE HALFS!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) Use the Permatex 3h on one case half only, make sure the surfaces are clean and oil free. I do use a bit of the Silicone on the paper gaskets, just a bit between the fingers rubbed into them. I never have leaks. |
