Question-High-Temp Red RTV Silicon on O ring cover plus bolts?

[papichuloy2k]

Hi everyone,

Quick question: I am going to take everything apart again to check if the "wet" run was successful. So far, it went fine, but since I am taking everything apart again my question is:

Can I use automotive High-Temp Red RTV Silicone GAsket Maker around the O ring cover (gear lube cover w/ Dipstick) to make it water-tight?


High Temp Silicon around here to make it water tight? I am still going to use a new O ring, just want added peace of mind.


How about HighTemp Red RTV silicon in the threads of those four bolts? Or maybe blue loc-tite instead?

Blue loc-tite or High Temp silicon on the threads of these four or five bolts?

you can add RTV to the cover or bolt threads if you like, but no to the loctite.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I will use only RTV to the cover and on the threads. I will refrain from using blue loc-tite and stick to RTV. I will wet test it again next week.

Thank you again,
