Subject:      gasket sealant
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi All,
        Does anyone have a recommendation for a gasket dressing or sealant to use
with the paper flange gaskets that are on the waterboxer engines. I have
coolant leaks at the flange junctions (not the hoses) on both my vans where
the small 7mm rubber hose fits on the top front of the rightside head under
the alternator. On the one engine the gasket is 2 years old and I used some
stuff called permatex hylamar (spelling?) as a sealant, so I don't want to
use that again. Thanks.
