What kind of sealer do you guys use on paper gaskets? Finally got the right timing cover gasket today. With any luck I'll be firing my motor this weekend:Brow: But I said that a month ago too !!
Andy , You will get alot of opinions and comments . I use spray permatex for a no fuss clean up , also silicone if cleanup time is not a problem. Spray permatex work's awesome for most need's ! Good Luck !:Brow: :TU:
Thanks Bruce, I didn't figure it would be anything out of the norm. By the way, how'd you get your avatar like that? Thats pretty awesome!
:laugh: Andy , Thanx ! A friend of my son was over and did a liitle magic . At least that's what they tell me . Your gaskets will be fine with the spray permatex. Hang em by some wire and spray both sides . EZ and Neat and ....................................... it works !:beer :TU:
Be sure to open the oiling holes in the gasket to be as large as the holes in the cover! Seems they come through with those holes a lot smaller than the actual timing cover holes. Causes a restriction.
i like the spray tack stuff (like the red permatex). seems to be the same sticky consistency as the brush-on stuff, but it's much easier to use.
My vote goes to Copper Coat. I use it on the gasket surface that is away from the motor whenever possible. If for any reason you need to remove the part, clean-up and removal is easy. I know, I know - if it correct the first, there is no need to remove the part. But you have to remember that parts are not made like they used to be... Mike
Thanks for the input guys. Hey Yard, I did trim out the gasket around the oil holes. You talk about not even close!!
