In the coming months I will be yanking my engine and trans to do some inspections on the internals. I'm wondering what silicon or rtv or gasket sealer you guys are using? Timing cover, intake manifold and oil pan. Right now my timing cover has a minor seepage. And it's been 2 years of abuse since last tear down. Motor is a small block.


I can explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.

None.

Make sure your timing cover flanges are in good shape and the torqued down properly. I have an 18in file I run across bolt on parts (that I can) and will work the high spots to get a good surface all around. There are a few youtube videos that show how to do this.

Right Stuff is a good sealer, but it's costly.
