Gotta clean it for any of them sealants to work. I use alcohol or brake parts clear to remove ALL oily residue and I too use ultra black, no leaks here and yeah..... The intake/oil pan are sometimes a bitch to get off but its worth it. |
X2 on ultrablack.

the Ultra Grey is the strongest stuff I ever seen and I have used them all..
and your right Mark you could hold the intake down with Ultra Grey with no bolts and it would go nowhere |
I hate Leaks
Ok, here is info on Valco.
Valco Cincinnati Consumer Products. www.valco-cp.com Look at bottom of home page to right side, "Where To Buy" for dealers. Doug Herbert is one and so is Fowler Engines. Silver Aluminum RTV 3 oz. is part number 71195. Great stuff. Not the same as any GE based silicone RTV. Other products I use are: Gellube 71756 Good areosol spray that sticks to metal. Hylomar Gasket Maker . 2 types. Aerosol is great for copper head gaskets and blue in a tube is good for gaskets too. Also look at the ENGINE BUILDERS kit assortment 71859 They have a variety of products you might find useful. Of course the prices are at manufacturers suggested retail and there should be a discount almost anywhere I buy my Valco at VSI warehouse at a good discount, but you have to be a dealer with them. One of my customers bought a truck pulling engine from the owner of Valco and he gave us a good supply of products to try out. |
Well shi*. I now have a nice leak on my intake. I about had a heart attack Saturday moring when I saw something dripping from between the head and block. After pulling the clip I found that it's leaking from the front of the intake.
