Gaskets VS RTV


Recommended Posts

Posted

:cheers:

 

If you use a good gasket you shouldnt have any problems. I use a gasket where applicable and the RTV as insurrance. Or i use RTV in places where it is needed but there is no gasket. (front and back of changing an intake manifold)

 

I also like to put it on my tooth brush..but thats a whole different story.. :D

Some places RTV is better since intake was mentioned...SBC intake gaskets come with those rubber pieces for the front and back, I always toss those and just use RTV, plus I use RTV with gaskets on engine assembly. Rearends and transmissions etc... I use gasket only, just depends on the part.

Most of the time a good quality gasket and proper torque will seal just as good or better than RTV. As mentioned, they're easier to remove later as well. For instance, I just changed my diff fluid. GM gasket and proper torque with NO RTV and it's dry as a bone.
