Subject:      Re: exhaust gaskets + permatex?

Permatex is essentially the same sealant used in the vw factory. (Smells 
like aviation glue) My mechanic,  who's Austrian and use to work for 
Volkswagen Germany, uses  the stuff for "glue" on the gaskets. As it 
starts to set up it holds the gaskets in place and makes life much 
easier. Permatex (you guys are talking about the brown colored I hope) is 
also perfect for the sealing of the two halves of an aircooled engine 
because as we all know there's no gasket for this. It should also be fine 
for use with any exhaust components.
