The Right Stuff sealer

[Steve Wood]

If one uses this stuff to install a valve cover, how hard is it to remove the cover later down the line?

[ULYCYC]

On cast valve covers it's no problem. On punched out tin like old sbc's it's a bitch without bending the cover.

You'll need a chisel to remove it...   and probably break a cast cover doing it.

That's the stuff I use on my oil pan instead of pan gaskets. (and still have to tighten up the pickup clearance)

Post this on TB's.com.. The former owner did an in depth study of silicone products

for valve covers?

I tossed valve covers out in the generic sense as I wondered how easy it was to separate components mated with the Stuff

Is that kind of sealant needed? What's wrong with good gaskets and silicone?

had the Buick Motorsports valve covers and could never get them to seal with gaskets and sealer...so I applied what I had on hand at it worked fine...no leaks...

Sean sealed up all the cracks in his beer mug with that stuff

Here's what I used to seal the turbo drainback flange (plus gasket) with my recent re&re. http://www.permatex.com/products/automotive/automotive_gasketing/gasket_sealants/auto_Permatex_Form-A-Gasket_No_2_Sealant.htm

It stays "gummy" or soft.

I also used it to seal the fittings/pipe for my natural gas BBQ hook-up.
