the factory stuff that comes in the gasket kits PLAIN GARBAGE - DO NOT USE THIS STUFF !
other types of RTV PERMATEX ULTRA COPPER HIGH TEMP RTV SILICON SEALANT - I'VE USED THIS FOR YEARS. NO LEAKS SO FAR ON ANY OF THE ENGINES I'VE DONE WITH IT.
One note must be included with this information. The surfaces being sealed MUST be clean, smooth & level for the sealant to work properly.
