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.

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.
