the Right Stuff? Gasket Maker
With cars in service longer and more new models arriving every year, gasket replacement has brought its share of headaches to today's automotive technician. Older parts no longer match, new and difficult-to-seal surfaces are more common and locating the right replacement gasket is a chore...

Permatex?, the first name in sealing engines, presents the Right Stuff Gasket Maker - a new solution for these frustrating situations. The Right Stuff instantly makes gaskets that are more reliable and longer lasting than cut gaskets, and at a fraction of the cost.

This elastomeric rubber technology is blowout resistant and outperforms pre-cut gaskets. It also protects against leaks caused by vibration and thermal expansion. The Right Stuff is OEM specified and proven effective in millions of miles of fleet testing. Resistant to ATF, coolant, oil and other shop fluids, it is sensor-safe and operates in environments with temperature ranges from -75?F to 450?F (-59?C to 232?C) continuous, 500?F (260?C) intermittent.

the Right Stuff? for Imports Gasket Maker
The Right Stuff for Imports Gasket Maker was specifically designed to perform under the higher torque loads caused by engines with closely spaced bolt patterns (typically import vehicles, particularly Japanese). It is is blowout resistant, allowing leakproof gaskets to be made and put into service in just one minute. Sensor-safe, this product seals instantly, forming a reliable, long lasting elastomeric rubber gasket that outperforms precut gaskets. OEM specified by Honda, Nissan and Mazda. This product is resistant to powertrain fluids (oil, coolant, and ATF) and operates in environments to 450?F (232?C) continuous; 500?F (260?C) intermittent.

OEM Specified and Aproved
The Right Stuff was formulated, in partnership with GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler, to meet or exceed very rigorous performance standards for long-term sealability, durability and handling. The result was a material that is so reliable that it is used on their production lines
and specified in their service parts programs.

Anaroebic sealer is recommended for any machined surface where clearance is an issue. it will only seal in the absence of air and will not create a shimming effect. the front diff case halves need to maintain proper clearances for proper side bearing preload. If a sealant that disturbes these clearances is used you will lose the side bearing preload. As well RTV has been known to break down in the presence of synthetic lubricants.

Yeah, I just talked to a GM parts friend of mine and he said that I should use the sealer next time. He said that I'll probably be find with the RTV stuff, but if I ever have to do it again, use the sealer....
