This RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) silicone is a universal gasket maker and sealant used to create a reliable, leak-proof seal between two mating surfaces on your vehicle. It is commonly applied to components like valve covers, oil pans, timing covers, thermostat housings, and water pumps.
Over time, original gaskets can become brittle, crack, or compress, leading to fluid leaks. This product is needed to create a new, flexible, and durable gasket in place of a pre-formed one, or to act as a dressing to improve the sealing of an existing gasket. It is an essential item for any major engine service or for fixing persistent oil and coolant leaks.
Ignoring a leak from a failed gasket can lead to serious consequences. A small oil leak can coat the engine bay, attract dirt, and eventually lead to significant oil loss, potentially causing engine starvation and catastrophic failure. A coolant leak can result in overheating, warped cylinder heads, and costly engine damage. Fixing the seal promptly with the correct RTV is a crucial preventative measure.
This product is a universal sealant suitable for a wide range of automotive sealing applications, including but not limited to:
