Hi Guys,
Just a sort of quick question that'll turn into a long one...and it's not really a specific VR/VS one, but I'll post here anyway
What sort of Gasket Goo do people use, if any, on the various gaskets on their engines, such as Thermostat housing, Head gaskets, Sump gaskets etc.
I've read a bit about the Hylomar stuff, and an old friend of my brother's used to have to use it (or a blue spray on stuff anyway) for some european cars.
I've also read that some peolple will only put goo around the bolts (not sure if that means on the surface of the gasket around the bolt hole, or on the actual bolt itself).
I've always used that stinky (smells like vinegar to me) black stuff (usually let my mate get his hands dirty) and spread it over the entire gasket (or mating surface) but I'm not sure if that is really necessary.
What's the go with Holdens? Do they need goo? If so, is the spray stuff any good?
Cheers !
