Use it as thin as you can when sealing cases and around the tranny and crank seals. The stuff is amazing and goes a long long way when the torque is applied. I found it best to let it set over night and cure before trying to remove what has squished out. Just peels free then..doing it right away makes a smeared black mess.

Might use an ounce tops. Keep it closed tightly and it will last a good long time. Use the solid cap to close and clean the nozzle tip out well when its still liquid. And make as small a hole as you can in the nozzle tip. If you dont want to waste what the tip is gonna take in, just use your finger to thinly smear it on.

ok thanks Chuck , good advice sounds like you only use a thin line ,

[chuck hahn]

Thin like the width of a #2 pencil lead thin..or a little thinner!! Then I use a finger to wipe it evenly over the entire mating surfaces. I even use it in the head where the U shaped cam end plugs go..and a little on top of the plugs themselves to assure a leak proof seal. It doesnt take much and at what the tube cost me, I dont waste a drop if I dont need to.

Got mine from the dealership and it was around $28.00 if i recall.

I build quite a few engines every year & I have NEVER finished a tube in a year. I usually get a year & a half to 2 years out of a tube. The stuff is THE BEST I have ever found & I will use NOTHING else for sealing case halves.
