Air Boot Sealant

[Gmbond]

What does everyone use?

I've been using Toyota FIPG (form in place gasket) silicone sealant. This is used as a factory oil pan and waterpump gasket on most of these cars without issue and it sure seems to seal and adhere in this applications. I haven't had any issues but I am always wondering if there is something better.

Thanks

3M weatherstrip adhesive (automotive) works decent

Not leaking is not leaking.

I've put 10 hard years on silicone sealant in airboxes with zero failure, more than once.

The black stuff is oil/gas resistant. I was using a worse grade, the red which is the high temp stuff.

That's kinda what I figured, it holds up as an oil pan gasket usually for the life of the vehicle, and on the rare occasion we haveto drop an oil pan off it has to be pried/chieseled off, I figured hot oil would be brutal for breaking down a sealant.

I've used a solvent cleaner to dissolve the weatherstrip adhesive to clean it off of cars so I would have thought gasoline would melt it away too.

Yep, Sika is the stuff, as Gregrobo says. Make sure you use the 11FC, not the Pro, it's designed as an adhesive/sealant, rather than just a sealant, and shit yeah, it sticks !
Hey Gregrobo, you just sneaked in in front of me on the Rekluse Adam had for sale . . . .damn, that's 2 I missed now ! Enjoy man. I reckon I may even end up having to buy a new one . . . . .
