    Which Sealant to Use

    I need to install a seal and I need to place sealant around the circumference of the seal before installing it. I usually use Permatex UltraBlue but have run out. Is it OK to use ThreeBond 1194 Liquid Gasket that is used between crankcases when putting them together.
    What do you think?
    Thanks.

    What seal in particular are you refering to? Regarding sealer, Suzuki didn't use anything so I don't think it's needed. If you are dead set though, 1194 is good stuff.

    To measure is to know.

      Sorry Ed. I am out of order here. It is actually a job I am doing on my 3.0 V6 Magna. So don't tell anyone. It is a camshaft seal, the existing was leaking excessively and I have to press a new one in to the cylinder head housing over the camshaft end. I hoped I could get away with it. I know I am off topic. Bust I am desperate and in a hurry. So I went on this forum. Desperate to get the car back on the road.
      Will the liquid gasket work. The Ultra Blue I usually use is a high temp RTV.

          Thanks BigT. I am that deep into this motor, timing belt off, camshaft sprockets off, harmonic balancer off, that I don't want to use a sealant that fails and have to go through it all again. Thanks.
