Gasket Maker Overview - Permatex Tech Tip Series

[@andywohlgemuth2859]

It is unbelievable the amount of sealant they used

[@ltsky311]

Lol I was just going to say this, it's a complete disservice to those who don't know how to do this, they will think that's the right way. With that being said 2mm beads are good for most parts...

[@RichieRich845]

The amount of RTV that is going to mix with oil is sure going to block most if not all the oil passages. Like Inviticus said a 2mm bead is all you need.

[@SA-iw4ci]

They don't follow their own instructions. Thin bead my azz.

[@andrewmccaskill2845]

LOL i was laughing the whole time at how much they used and how messy their beads were lol meantime I'm over here painting the mona lisa.

[@hellobooom]

The old 80s permatex videos remind you to use the correct amount of sealer for the bead, in this instance, 90% of the bead will end up stuck in the oil pickup LOOOOL

[@jdlestina3882]

Saw many cars come in to my shop with no oil pressure, or spun crank bearings, clacking hydraulic lifters, seized engine, etc, because the sump pickup was plugged with silicone that sloughed off after a valve cover gasket replacement. Especially bad was that old Racers Blue silicone.

[@jessejohnson159]

@@jdlestina3882 Too true! I was sick watching those gobs of sealer piled up on the sealing surfaces! (I'm a retired ASE certified Master Mechanic in the Auto and HD truck fields with 50 years of experience.)

[@Trozen17]

2:52 he over torques the first bolt of the oil pan! He squeezed it all out too! Finger tighten all bolts EVENLY for one hour. Torques after 1 hour. Let cure for 24 hours.

[@curtisreitmeier1599]

Ok ok

[@AdrianRoberts-i4m]

That's the info I was looking for, thank you

[@M3rVsT4H]

Reminds me of a short lived engine I disassembled.. Absolutely riddled with RTV squeeze out. It was like silicon spaghetti and it was everywhere.. Oil galleries, water passageways. Big daggy bits dangling down the intake runners.. Hard to know if the oil starvation was from the blocked pickup or just most of the engine oil being in the rocker cover because it couldn't drain fast enough lol.

[@thatmand4542]

its all user error,dont be going ham with the gasket maker use common sense,let it dry for a bit and then tighten down your parts and bam minimal squeeze out ive never had a problem using their stuff on my applications,either im building a small or big block chevy,my brothers 2jz and k24 engines that i built for him and ect.

[@M3rVsT4H]

@@thatmand4542 Oh for sure, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the product. Permatex makes some great stuff. But I think they laid it on pretty thick in this vid.. Thicker than I would after that spaghetti engine I wound up with in a car I bought.

[@manualspellcorrect9073]

@@M3rVsT4H It was a bit like "do you want some water pump on that silicone bead?" Crazy to show that on a "professional" promo video.

[@johnbuck5181]

😮

[@frankstocker5475]

Just use the whole tube, then you have no waste, good job man.

[@LifeSavingDefense]

Just used zrtv ultra black exactly as it says on the package instead of the ton used in the video and let it sit for about 27 hrs on a timing chain cover and water pump. The water pump leak at one spot. Wasted a day for one spot and now how to take it apart. For years I normally put it on one side of a normal gasket. Tomorrow I will replace with a normal gasket and no rtv. I like the silicone combination gaskets so I guess I’ll move into 2022 but I live in the country so I have to fix my truck to get there or walk… it’s only 7 miles to the store and when I was 12 that was a normal walk

[@Currancchs]

I don't think that he used enough sealant on that water pump ;) I hope this part is not being put into service like that, but at least it's not an oil pump! Good demonstration of the volume of sealant that the aerosol can is capable of putting out when you really put the hammer down though!

[@randellgribben9772]

they should show how to apply it correctly.. not big thick beads.... it just gets into the oil pan,,oil pick up etc.

[@verdele]

oil pump won't pick it up since it has a mesh to prevent this kind of sutff

[@diavalus]

@@verdele the mesh will be clogged and no oil will be sucked by the pump, thus starving the engine of oil

[@Fueler]

Omg unbelievable

@Jay Japan Love It won't leak, nothing else matters :)

[@david21ify]

Seriously.... show how to apply it properly.... "here you see the permatex RTV applicator trowel"

[@Persian5word]

@1:04 Thats how you can clog you heater core and radiator !! probably the guy has no clue whats hes doing ... thats way waaay too much silicone, machined aluminum surfaces requires a bead of 2mm in diameter and no more...

[@JD-wx3pk]

I made the mistake of using anaerobic gasket maker in conjuction with a conventional gasket. I just assumed it glued everything together, but it only bonds to metal against metal etc.. I was wondering why coolant was leaking from my thermostat housing, but now I know..

[@ross9580]

When will the Permatex spatula be available? Ooof.

[@bradlymullins6471]

with the anaerobic gasket maker it says you need to use surface prep activator that is on package .should you use the activator or is it needed

[@DSC800]

wow, at 2:38 especially, in my earliest days I didn't use so much and apply so badly.

[@felipetrejos5407]

Gracias 🙌 Al fin pude identificar el producto que me urge para reparar una parte del motor de mi moto.

[@zanathzanath7236]

I believe most mishap happened with rtv or gasket maker , is user not following instructions. This gasket maker is convenient , you don't have to rely on gasket paper or even try to cut one. The only place you have to buy a gasket is the head gasket. Is there any solution for this?

[@pensionat60]

I have a snowblower carburetor bowl that keeps on leaking gas where the 1/2 jet screws into the bottom of the bowl. I've replaced the gasket but it still leaks. I'm going to try Permatex Solvent Based Gasket Maker. Any comments? Has anyone used it for this purpose as well?

Can I use Permatex Gasket Sealant for a water pump on a trailblazer the water pump comes with a gasket but I don’t trust it

[@torqingheads]

Those beads are like 10 times more than is needed. The silicone will break off inside the crankcase and block the oil pump pickup.

[@carlosfermin2975]

los anaerobicos tambien ,pueden ser utilizados ,en piezas expuestas al contacto directo con gasolina ,acidos y gases de varios tipos , de hecho existe una lista con una cantidad de componentes quimicos ,utilizados ,compatibles con los productos , permatex asi como tambien los de loctite ,porque son las mismas formulas en lo referente alos anaerobicos y las siliconas.

Thanks Curtis!

[@zorans5200]

Never ever! Use silicone for head gaskets. It will cause problems and you will most likely need to take it apart again.

[@jacktheboss4life350]

Iv yet to have problems been going for a few years now😂

[@zorans5200]

@@jacktheboss4life350 you got lucky,. Silicone will eventually let go with hot oil pressure. And the silicone cause goopines around the coolant and oil ports, sometimes plugging them off.. the head gasket also provides recommended factory head to block clearance, which could cause your engine to have piston to valve contact.

[@HeyJerry55]

@@zorans5200 has nothing to do with clearance or oil pressure, a head gasket does not need additional sealant

[@zorans5200]

@@HeyJerry55 clearly you have never rebuilt any engines with that statement.

[@HeyJerry55]

@@zorans5200 Brother I just rebuilt a 986, and I am also not disagreeing with your main point. I also misread your comment, I assumed you meant ADDING silicon paste to an existing headgasket. I didn't think you were talking about using just silicon for a headgasket.

That is the worst beading I have ever seen in my life. Hello blocked oil pick up, what wrong, you're full of excess RTV?

[@gwayne919]

A friend had a problem with his oil pickup being blocked and I couldn't find the time to fix it. I had too many irons in the fire and the engine finally threw a rod through the side of the engine. Turned out to be blocked with too much silicone gasket sealant from a past oil pan seal that plugged the oil pump screen. Some mechanics are not up to snuff and haven't a clue. Another acquaintance used pure antifreeze and cracked an expensive block. The ignorance abounds and so I don't let too many people touch my vehicles and I don't have many problems with my work.
