Flow Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 So whats the preferred product for sealing the block back up. Permatex blue RTV? Thanks. Dusty ---------------- '86 GL 4x4 Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petersubaru Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I don't know what you mean by sealing up the motor...but if you mean to be putting the two block halves together....RTV is not recommended...it does not mix with oil,...is dangerous if a small piece gets into the bearing etc....I know in my gasket kits that the black RTV is always supplied, but I never use it...call up the Permatix people and have them recommend something other and better for your application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 you can ask ccrinc but from what i learned the permatex grey is the best stuff for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toybuilder Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I would also suggest using the Permatex Ultra Grey, for the block halves and the cam towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Yep, that's what we use. Technically, Permatex 599 Ultra Gray. Also on practically all other mating surfaces: cam towers, etc. Emily http://www.ccrengines.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
