A lot of folks on here talk about this gasket sealer. Which one do you use, the 1 minute or the 90 minute?
I swear by it.. I think you get a little bit more than one minute to deal with it but if it's a hot day and you don't get it on right the first time LOL you'll be scraping it all back off and trying again LOL ask me how I know! LOL but with that said 5 years and nothing leaks.. I might add 5 years of torture and nothing leaks...A lot of folks on here talk about this gasket sealer.

Oh come on, it's not that bad it's like you get what you pay for. if it's a little harder to come off during disassembly that means it's a little harder to leak...If you like to chisel for disassembly use the right stuff. lol
I like Permatex ultra black, it's oil resistant and seals good and easy to remove if needed.
You can give me a red X it won't hurt my feelers..and there's jpar with the red X. LOL
I use Maximum Oil Resistant Black RTV by Permatex also. Never a leak, and pretty easy to take things apart and clean up. On freeze plugs, and T-stats I use Ultimate Grey Permatex RTV.. love the stuff.If you like to chisel for disassembly use the right stuff. lol

I have more miles on my '74 Duster this year than you do on your Duster. More feet of rubber burnt tooHow can anything leak it only gets taken out of the garage once a year...

This is what I use...introduced to it several years ago in the aviation industry. Teledyne Continental Motors, came up with it building their engines. Now a Loctite product. Doesn't take set until pressure is applied. Looks and smells like grape jelly. A really good product. I have assembled many engines...no leaks!

Wow. Expensive. Does it spread and act like silicon when using it?

For lack of a better description...it goes on with the consistency of "sticky Vaseline." It doesn't drip or run. An example of its performance...aircraft (most) engine crank cases are two piece, with the crank shaft "sandwiched" between them. The case is held together with a series of bolts, studs and nuts. The two mating surfaces do not use a gasket of the sorts, but a strand of silk thread (same size a common sewing thread) and in the past, brush on "Permatex" was used as a sealant. Now all we use is the 515. I usually apply a small bead of the 515 on the flange or the mating surfaces and spread it evenly with a brush. (acid brush) When actually using a gasket (cork or paper) I'll massage the gaskets with the 515 using my fingers. You don't need a lot on the a gasket, just make sure it has been coated on both sides. Yes, it's a little expensive, but it goes a long way. I'll add one last thing. The 515 is not intended to fill voids in what you are building, it is intended to be used with "well mating surfaces and gaskets." It does not " require a "hammer and chisel" to take it apart.Wow. Expensive. Does it spread and act like silicon when using it?
I'm just upset I can't give more than one at a time LOL...
