Sorry Dean,
I replied to another post by mistake. Not enough coffee yet this morning and my
fingers are not up to working speed.
I have used Hylomar M many times for oil sump gaskets. I have tried a lot of
other products but found that Mylomar M is the best for a good seal and the
ability to disassemble further down the road.

Subject: [TR] Gasket sealant for sump
Iâ??m resealing the engine and transmission on my TR4 after 20 years of
reliable service.
Today I had a massive failure installing the sump gasket using Hylotyte Red100
sealant. It seems to have weakened the gasket to the point that it tore around
several bolt holes as I torqued the bolts.
Plan B is to thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and use Permatex Ultra Gray,
which Iâ??ve generally had good luck with on my Alfa Romeos.
Before I do that, I wanted to see if any of you can recommend other sealants
for this purpose. I only want to do it one more time.
Thanks.
