I thought the factory choice was a product called Wellseal.  I just googled
it and Pegasus carries it.  I myself use Hylomar Blue, which is relatively
expensive as sealants go, but the Wellseal stuff is $31.99

I think I learned of it by perusing one of the Roadster Factory catalogs.
Charles must have done the research to find that information in the
supplement you refer to and they probably carry it too, on the same page in
the catalog with the nuts and the TinTin stuff:)   Good job with your
sleuthing skills!

RESULTS OF Fo8 SEALANT THREAD=E2=80=94Thanks again to all who =
contributed

We had around 25 responses of one sort or another, several good =
suggestions and a couple of =E2=80=9Cheads up=E2=80=9D  regarding =
=E2=80=9Caggressive=E2=80=9D motor oil potential reaction with some =
sealants.
Most popular with 7 users was HYLOMAR BLUE
Next was PERMATEX AVIATION with 5 users
Then came YAMABOND #5 with 3 users
Followed by unspecified SILICONE with 2 users
COPPER COAT,  PERMATEX BROWN and INDIAN HEAD SHELLAC each had 1 user
Several responders suggested that perhaps if the mating surfaces (see =
below) were in good shape then no sealant al all might be the way to =
go...
One responder (with a couple of like minded individuals)suggested using =
an old liner cleaned up and true as a sort of hone to polish the =
=E2=80=9Cland=E2=80=9D in the block.  This might also work to emphasize =
highs and lows in the land if a bit of Prussian blue was applied to the =
land prior to using the =E2=80=9Chone=E2=80=9D.

To specify the silicone:

Two options:

W=C3=BCrth red special 250

RTV black 260 or more

=20

At least, the engine design is quite rough and not a NASA built.

I guess most things would work.

I try to keep it simple and what is handy and modern.

The good thing with silicone=E2=80=A6..it glues the sleeves in place. =
Very convenient at the track when you need to remove the head.

=20

Cheers

Chris
