• Why Buy 

✅ Sensor-Safe, Non-Corrosive Formula – Safe for oxygen sensors and sensitive engine components. No risk of damaging expensive sensors.

✅ Maximum Oil Resistance – Designed for superior adhesion to oily surfaces. Bonds where other sealers fail. Perfect for high-oil environments.

✅ Superior Resistance to Powertrain Fluids – Withstands engine oil, transmission fluid, gear lube, and coolants. Won't break down or leak.

✅ Retains High Flexibility – Gasket moves with engine expansion and contraction. No cracking, no shrinking, no leaking.

✅ Eliminates Pre-Cut Gaskets – No more hunting for the right paper, rubber, or cork gasket. One tube does it all.

✅ OEM Specified and Approved – Meets dealership warranty requirements. The same quality professionals trust.

✅ Wide Temperature Range – Works from -65°F to 500°F (-54°C to 260°C) intermittent. Extreme cold starts to high-heat engine operation.

✅ Excellent Adhesion to Oily Surfaces – Wipe and apply. No need for surgically clean surfaces. Saves time and effort.

✅ Long-Term Durability – Built to last as long as the parts you're sealing. No premature failures or rework.

✅ Suggested for Valve Covers – Perfect seal for leaky valve cover gaskets. Stops oil from seeping onto exhaust manifolds.

  2. Cut nozzle tip to desired bead size (1/8" to 1/4" typical)

  3. Apply a continuous bead of silicone to one surface

  4. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet

  5. Tighten to specified torque

  6. Allow to cure for at least 2 hours (24 hours for oil fill)
