Got a question:
What is the correct product to use for painting the rotor housing legs when you stack the motor up? Bruce Terrinton (SP?) in his vid calls for Permatex Super 300. I haven't seen it at any NAPA or Canadian tire (similar to your pep boys stores). Closest I found was Permatex Aviation Form-A-GasketŪ No. 3 Sealant. What should I use? I hear of people even using RTV silicone. What is the difference between a "Gasket Maker" and a "Gasket Sealant" product? Thanks. |
I have seen bottles of "Super 300 Form-A-Gasket Aviation Sealer" so that may work.
We've had quite the discussion here not too long ago. I have no problems with Aviation Seal for gluing a gasket to a water pump or intake manifold, but I had poor luck with using it on housing legs. The difference is just as it appears, a gasket maker is intended to be used instead of a gasket, while a gasket sealant is intended to be used with a gasket. |
factory uses their grey silicon 8527-77-739. those legs seal the top of the oil pan, and thus dont see a lot of pressure, and id think any silicon would work fine. or same stuff as the oil pan uses

I used the "Right stuff" by Permetex, it's is OEM quality, but expensive a half tube is 21.99, but any will work, copper, blue, green, purple, green with white dots, use what ever!
But the Right Stuff is great! |
Not to start another hylomar debate... Mike: What does the factory use to hold the Orings and water seals in place?

RTV works great on the legs. I use wheel bearing grease to hold the coolant seals. Little dabs every few inches in the slots is adequate.
For the oil pan, if I have a gasket, I use RTV. If no gasket, I use The Right stuff. |
^^ Bingo! Screw hylomar, it just makes the grooves where the coolant seals harder to clean out when rebuilding.
|
the plan is this motor is going to last me another 250,000kms. I don't plan on ever opening up this motor once it's in.
