Cheers, Dave Welseal to seal the wet liners in a TR engine. Water one side oil the other and works very well. If you are wanting to seal a drinking water system then Hylomar do a Blue Hylomar for Potable water. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's available in red bottles or white tubes, and the latter are significantly cheaper, for the same amount. Any reason to chose the bottle?

Pete Lewis Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 yes John as for on the shelf....i still have cartridges of the stuff left when production closed .in 1993 wonder if its got a best before date as they are still working well it goes solid and really holds things together once bolted up , ie i hard gasket machined faces ...never to leak again Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks, Pete! if it doesn't go off then no reason not to go for the cheaper option! Although as so often on eBay, why anyone would pay eight times as much (£106) for the same product beats me! JOhn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigolf Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hi all, Bit of thread drift, but I want to remove my thermostat housing and flush the block coolant passages before replacing the coolant. When I put the thermostat housing on - many years ago - I used Red Hermatite, as recommended by local car factors. What sealant do people recommend now ?

Guest Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hello Gav, I have just done some thermostat housing work on a classic - I always use Granville Instant Gasket - with most jobs that require a seal and have to say (touch wood) has never let me down. Places like EBC sell it or easily accessible via eBay. Regards. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
