Agree.....
HYLOMAR UNIVERSAL BLUE GASKET Use sparingly as can be a b45t4rd to seperate later. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

For general purpose use, blue Hylomar. Follow the instructions and you'll have no trouble. If the WSM specifies RTV, then RTV it is.

yes your right
but lots of people always use to much of any sealer and ive seen it knacker some very expensive race engines and auto boxes . and sealer hanging out of a joint looks untidy. hylomar because it stays soft gets sucked in oil pick up mesh and stays there sucked into wire mesh blocking them . rtv drys so doesn't get stuck into things and tends to stay at the joint its sealing . general rule is you only need to see the very smallest bead from any sealer pushed out of edge of the joint . if you can just see it pushing out when tightening then its done its the job .. MORE IS NOT BETTER sorry if it sounds I am telling some people there job .. but for some diy people its advise that may help them. Last edited by munch90 on 30th Dec 2013 3:08pm.

I just use the RTV I buy from GSF car parts - comes in aerosol cans and seems to be good quality but not expensive.
