Head bolt sealant....
Hi,
as some of you may know I am in the process of a head gasket repair.
Being in Germany makes it difficult to locate the known good sealants and RTVs you are used to.
Right now I am looking for a good substitute sealant for my ARP head bolts.
Here are some available products:
1: http://www.akd-tools.gr/xmsAssets/Fi...octite_561.PDF
The Loctite sealant is only good up to 300 F temperature, this seems somewhat low.
2. Loctite Grey Blue or Copper Premium RTV...up to 400+ F, but is no thread sealer....
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Wrong forum, someone please relocate to Tech/Performance
