I know this is maximum oil resistance but I planned to do one valve cover gasket and I'm sure there will be some leftover and I don't want it to dry up so I want to use it for thermostat housing. Will it adhere as good as the red, copper, or grey?

Each Permatex gasket adhesive is specific for the function on the label - that said - I use the black most b/c it's a great adhesive as well - I recently did the valve covers on the old Yellow Dog Pickup and it seems to work as well for that app as the specific gasket sealer. I've used the Permatex line for decades - me fave is the black - reading the instructions on the packaging and tube seems to imply the products R for making gaskets rather than sealing or augmenting factory-type gaskets. I've done both. Reckoning what could it hurt added to a replacement gasket. It's a great way to stick a gasket that has a tendency for fall off during installation. ~:0) VivaChas!

Not sure if it will work on a area that is subject to heat, it worked just fine on a head gasket on a finish gun. Do you have any of the old existing gasket left see if it has any metal or flame resisiance material in it. Sorry

This is indeed the neverlube silicone version, whether or not the seal is blue or gray is probably not the key to success (the vendor might change the color of dye used for example). I've purchased one last year and this year for different valves, both of these work perfectly, are easy to turn and do not need lubricant.

I just used a tube of clear silicone sealant that I bought at Lowes. I got the idea from an old trick we used on our racing engine header gaskets. This stove will heat to about 450 degrees and the silicone holds up well. If it worked on exhaust headers it is plenty good @ 450 degrees. I hope this was of help.

POR 15 Glisten in my experience with the product is as heat resistant as most other automotive grade paints. In other words, it is not affected by heat up to and including engine bay temperatures. I use in on gun barrels and receivers and it is not affected by the heat of firing cartridges. It is pretty much imperivous to gasoline, as toluene or xyelene is required as a thinning agent. I agree with the first answer in that prep of surface is paramount. Area to be painted needs to be sanded and clean and wiped down with degreaser immediately prior to application. Hope this helps?

Clean any dirt or oil off of the surface you are going to apply the gasket. I think it would stick better then rather than if it had a coating of smoke on it.

I also was unable to find the gasket. I used Permatex ultra copper high temperature RTV silicon. We are beginning our second heating season and have had no problems to date.

If you sand and seal the edges expect 2-3 years I ran one on my Buick and never had an issue. I just installed a 100 watt on the oil pan of my f350 and expect it will be just fine. I run them with my block heater on a 3 hour timer and at zero degrees am seeing 60 degree oil on starting. Will do further testing when the second pad gets installed on my transmission pan. I use a DA sander prior to installing. Dry and clean are critical but it is a 3M adhesive. No worries.

I made my own gasket. I went to an auto parts store and bought Permatex brand High-Temp Red RTV Silicone Gasket Maker. Make sure you get the red tube. It's a 3 oz tube and I used less than .5 oz. I scraped the old gasket off with a razor knife and applied the gasket maker. Worked like a champ. (I can't take the credit for this idea as another Amazon buyer told me.)

I used it on a vintage motorcycle gas tank and it so far has worked real well. like it better than cream coat as it covers better

I don't hink you need to worry about it. It is used for any same brand pressure cooker. Such valves will melt in the middle since it's designed that way. I had it on my cooker and haven't had issue.

Yes it wont harm anything and will help prevent gasket problems. Thats my experience.

Did you find a good product for gaskets? I am looking for the same, and it must be a food-safe material.

It's a universal adhesive used on the gasket. I think that if the surface is cleaned (lighty sandpapered) and dry, then it should stick without a problem.

This is used with a gasket. Put a nice coating on the stat housing and the head.. This is good..will seal the tiny little nooks you might get a seepage. make sure both surfaces are clean and smooth..no old sealer or gasket left.Works very well, properly tighten down the housing..snug all bolts to make sure everything is seated..then tighten to proper specs.

From what I recall having read on the package is that this is a liquid gasket. However, the label suggest that it not be used for parts such as trans and oil pans.
