Hello all:
Am presently rebuilding a 2.1 out of a 1990 westy and am at the head install stage. Bently calls for 2 different sealants when installing cyl. heads.I found one of them thru the part # in Bently and it looks to be like regular old black silicon. This was the sealant that you put on the cyl head gasket. The other sealant with a bently part # that starts with AKD and a bunch of digits mainly zeros wasn't a good part number according to my VW dealer.Does anyone know what this sealant is that you put on the sealing surface of the cyl head cap nuts. ( 8 on each head.) I'm thinking maybe some type of antiseize lub but am not sure.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
