| Iīm a Hylomar
believer too. My 40 horse engine restored 20 years ago with
Hylomar hasnīt dropped any single drop of oil yet. My father
use Hylomar in his Indian motocycle builds. They donīt sell
old style blue Hylomar anymore, they improved the formula
somehow and they sell it as a Hylomar Aerograde now. |

Hylomar
I use Hylomar exclusively now, hasn't let me down yet. I'm conviced
there isn't a whole lot of things you can't seal up tight with
Hylomar, and it's also a snap to clean off during rebuilds unlike
some other brands...

One word-Hylomar.
http://www.hylomar-usa.com/
I'm not the spokesperson or anything, but we used this stuff
when building jet engines (for the Navy), and I've used it
on every engine I build. It's great becuase if you have to
tear something back down, it's a snap to wipe off, and it
seals very well. |

I use hylomar aero
grade for everything. no drips no leaks no runs.
and removal is the easiest with the aerosol remover.

| Hylomar blue. Built
an engine with it last year, and without running it, had to
tear it down completely. The old Hylomar came off reasonably
well from the case halves using a scotch pad and brake
cleaner spray. New Hylomar needs to be spread very thin,
most likely like the other sealants. Try to get the sealant
near the outer edges of the flanges, so that when you bolt
the case together and torque it, the sealant is not squeezed
downwards from the top (like a stalctite) or comes up from
the bottom. I assembled the engine 2 weeks ago, installed
and ran it for about 200 miles so far, and not a drop
leaked. |

What's so great about
Hylomar? It's just RTV. Tough RTV, but still
RTV.

I like it 'cause it stays soft. I use it on stubborn
oil drain plugs (not the threads) because I can wipe
it off. |

This subject is
hillarious almost as much fun as whats the best oil to use.
I've seen shops that used nothing but Gaskacinch for well
over 30 years ..... I've seen shops use Aviation permatex
and just for the record it cleans up easy with a laquer
thinner rag..... I've see another shop use nothing but red
high temp silicone for well over 25 years .... Then theres
the motorcylce glues like Yo mama bond.. The choices are
endless ..I used Hylomar on Boeing 727s, MD80s and 757s
aircraft engines... These run real hot was developed by
Rolls Royce is that good enough????

Personally, hylomar is where
it is at. I have successfully sealed both VW and
aircraft engines with a lot of patience and a little
hylomar while performing the overhaul.

| CB's "JAYCEE" order
page states putting the spring side towards the case, as for
positive sealing, Hylomar is the best! |

I am at work right
now but I think the Bentley limit is something pretty low
like 85 psi and all cylinders have to be within 10-15% of
each other for a air cooled type 4 engine.
I use the cork gaskets and tll them you have a type 4 engine
as a type 1 gasket won't fit.
Pick up a tube of "Hylomar" while you are there. Good stuff
to have in the tool box and will keep those gaskets from
getting "sucked in". |
