I continue to be amazed that my
engine isn't leaking anything. I used the best RTV that Permatex had to
offer when I originally installed my engine mount plate and pan, but it leaked
anyway. This time around, I used the tube of Master Gray Plus (part
number 16GP) that came in the rebuild kit. I've also used it on a few
other items, and have vowed to never use anything
else
Rusty,
While I have not personlly used Master Gray, it sounds exactly like
the various case bond materials used on motorcycles. The case bond is more like
a cross between a glue and a silicone. (It isn't silicone based) The material is
semi-hardening and more "digestible" according to the manufacturers than
silicone. There are case bond marteials from Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and
Yamaha. I have used all of them. The best I have used is YAMABOND. I have had
very good luck building oil tight engines with it. It is NOT intended for use on
gaskets, only on clean flat surfaces preferably machined. Might be way to
find a workable material locally.
Good Luck,
Bill Jepson
