Crankcase gel (sealer) ?

[Coosa River]

Hey fellers

Is this the right stuff that I need when assembling a crankcase back together ?

SEAL,OMC Gel (SKU: 0322702) (Supersede: 0327361)

Thanks,

Coosa River

That must be a large quantity for that price, I bought a smaller tube for $6 0324073

Yes...that's more like it. I don't do this for a living, and wouldn't have any use for a pint of it.

Thanks,

Loctite makes the same product and it is available at most Napa and Carquest stores. It is an anearobic gasket maker and it will remain uncured on exposed areas.

I believe Loctite 518 (red color) part number 51831 is the same as the OMC Gel Seal

Permatex Anaerobic Gasket Maker (part nubmer 51813) (note the similarity to the Loctite part # but in blue color) is the same as both. Advance Auto Parts carries the Permatex product. $14 for a 50ml/1.69 oz tube.

The OMC manual says to not use the product if it is more than a year old. (So, I wish I had found it in a smaller and less expensive tube.)
