understand it swells the rubber and gaskets-how about 2 pinholes in the metal bottom of hyundai pan-no rubber or gasket problems- pin holes in pan

Good question. I would say YES! I had the same pin holes in my pan, but mine was gushing out. I also had oil coming from all the seals and it did the job! I am not sure if it will work for you, but it did for me, so it is a chance you will have to take. Lucas is the best and if Lucas can't do the job nothing will. Then you will have to change the pan. But for $10 I would definitely say it is worth a shot! For me? It was worth it.Best of luck to you icicleXXX

It conditions gaskets and seals, does not plug pinholes in oil pans. I would advise to change the oil pan .

No, only it only works on rubber parts. It will not do anything for the oil pan. It may slow it down because of the thickness but u need to replace or repair the pan.

Follow instructions. ....rubber round gasket om both sides......tighten.....then fill with water. .look for leaks

No, it just pushes in and the there's supposed to be an interference fit with the pin connector and the rubber in the main body connector to make a "seal", but it's not watertight. This isn't a watertight connector.

I haven't experienced problems with that. You need to watch for mold under the gaskets though.

The rubber ring is a seal against leaks. You will probably ruin your machine if you continue to use it without the proper seal.

im not sure , but just make sure the hoses are screwed tight enough, and double check to see if the rubber gasket is inside the hose as well...i have used this everyday for over 2 months and its perfectly fine... great product..

Mine does that too. It hasn't caused any problems though; no splattering or loss of heat. I was considering finding a way to put a gasket on, but it truly does work fine being a bit wobbly.

It depends where is your min/max level, if it is topped I would recommend extracting a little bit, remember that gaskets leak if you exceed the max level

I have used mine for a few years with no problems. There is a white rubber gasket that is fixed to one side of the case. I am very happy with the quality.

Ned,I'm no mechanic, but I can tell you what happened to mine. Same problem, very hard to start and then to keep running. In a nutshell, I was using regular gasoline which in a few short months caused an air leak by eating into the seal on the carberator plate cover. You might want to check and see if you have any leakage on the bottom of the carb plate. I replaced the gasket and started using Alcohol free gasoline (which the literature says to use) and have had no futher problems. Starts easy, runs great, without the constant priming. BTW - I found that Dealers will not cover any gasoline areas under warranty. Ned,I'm no mechanic, but I can tell you what happened to mine. Same problem, very hard to start and then to keep running.

Try taking the bottom off and clean the rubber gasket in soap and water. Then reassemble and use a little olive oil on the gasket

I don't know what kind of rubber it is but it only warped a little bit after using it on two separate occasions. It doesn't melt TO the exhaust pipe but it did warp in shape a little bit. Not so much that it affected its performance. I am still able to use it having said this. The warping did not affect its seal around the tailpipe.

Jack, I didn't notice that effect with the one I'm using, I would guess perhaps the problem migth be happening due to overheat the pan ! Since I bought it I took very serious the recomendation not to heat it too much and not too fast. Hope this help

I suppose you could although you might have a problem. Stainless steel will contract in the cold and this could affect the seal. Also, the cold could affect the rubber gasket by making it rigid and/or brittle. Not all types of rubber do that though and I don't know what type of rubber this gasket is made of.

Did you put the small rubber tubing from the primer bulb back on the carb. Or You may need to check that the gasket is not damage. or not seated right. to cause a seal.

If you don't use it on the rubber o-ring, the o-ring will not seat properly, resulting it a leak. I know this because I didn't use it and had a leak that was resolved by using the grease.

Yes, the Permatex Silicone Gasket maker is great for use with rubber. It is designed to be a gasket or sealer when a regular gasket is not available. It is not affected by vibration, water and most solvents. It holds great but is easy to remove if you change your mind. One small note, it sticks REALLY well to skin so use brush or gloves. I use this stuff for everything.
