I also second the 'Right stuff'. My neighbor is a GM service manager who says GM has a product that makes Right Stuff look like a joke.

GM these days has a lot of products that look like a joke.lol

For 70k it better not be. I was referring to the Volt, Camaro, and other cars that like to catch fire and not stop.

I was just saying.

Saw one of those things getting on the interstate a few days ago. Couldn't stop looking at it.

I like the Volt too.
Makes a Prius look like the dork mobile that it truly is.

You can have a Camaro.

But you Cannot have a Yellow Jacket SRT8 Challenger.

That would be my choice if I was gonna spend new car money.

Well, we have something else in common besides having worked on Mustangs and airplanes. I learned how to make gaskets with a ball peen hammer when I was a kid working on lawn mower engines for go-carts. That was over 55 years ago...

If I remember correctly, in was taught in shop class.

and once you use it in the cheese wiz can you'll never want to buy tubes of RTV again

The price keeps me from using it.

Why do you think they had to come up a gasket maker to help fix all the recalls? Haha

I've made a few upper intake gaskets in the past. I used gasket paper and this spray on red goo. The spray on goo sprays like spray paint and stays tacky. I spray it on the intake manifold and then press the gasket paper onto the intake with my hands. When I lift it off, the goo transfers to the paper and I have perfect lines to cut with a razor blade. I believe I got both the paper and the goo at the parts store. Has worked great when I've needed a gasket in a pinch. Never had an issue with leaks.

I never use those stupid rubber gaskets with the intake kit. I build a a big bead also, I am positive I never waited 72 hours though. Lol.

I never had any luck with the big bead of silicone. It seals initially, but within 20,000 miles it starts to leak again. I always use the rubber seals.
