Using Rtv To Make A Gasket.

  • Sponsors (?)


I was just saying.

Saw one of those things getting on the interstate a few days ago. Couldn't stop looking at it.

I like the Volt too.
Makes a Prius look like the dork mobile that it truly is.

You can have a Camaro.

But you Cannot have a Yellow Jacket SRT8 Challenger.

That would be my choice if I was gonna spend new car money.

I've made a few upper intake gaskets in the past. I used gasket paper and this spray on red goo. The spray on goo sprays like spray paint and stays tacky. I spray it on the intake manifold and then press the gasket paper onto the intake with my hands. When I lift it off, the goo transfers to the paper and I have perfect lines to cut with a razor blade. I believe I got both the paper and the goo at the parts store. Has worked great when I've needed a gasket in a pinch. Never had an issue with leaks.
 
I never use those stupid rubber gaskets with the intake kit. I build a a big bead also, I am positive I never waited 72 hours though. Lol.

I never had any luck with the big bead of silicone. It seals initially, but within 20,000 miles it starts to leak again. I always use the rubber seals.
