mudduck Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 What would you all recommend using to seal up the cam towers on a ea82? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 OEM they are sealed with the three-bond equivelent of RTV. That's what I've always used. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presslab Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Make sure it is clean! I stuffed rags in mine and let them soak up the oil for a day so it wouldn't drip down as I was putting it together. I used Loctite 518 (Permatex 51813) but the key is to keep it clean. Use Acetone to clean the surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD +1, don't use too much (issues of extra sealant going places where you don't want it are documented well), make sure you've cleaned out the groove on the mating surfaces . . . chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudduck Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 I,ve got some stuff called The Right Stuff. I have used it for a few other non subaru related projects, it should do the trick, right? And the little o ring in there, does this absolutly need to be replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
