Re: Gasket sealant - Yes or No???

posted by  someone claiming to be dick on  Sat Jul 7 15:02 CST 2001 [RELATED]

On the newer B 21,23,230 engines, no sealant is recommended or needed. The head gasket: none for sure. If you want to mess with the paper gaskets, use the aviation grade gasket goop as it stays flexible, and if it is good enough for aviation, it should be ok for your car.

As a rule, no sealant is required on the B 18 or B 20.

Perhaps George Downs will get in on this as he is active in your series engines. I have done it both ways.
