Gas A Cinch (SP?) for sealing and sticking all the gaskets on except the head gaskets and rear main seals Adhesive silicone only for BB rear main seal holder to the block to seal up the side seals and in the corners of the intake manifolds and or valley pans Thermostat silicone on the water pump and thermostat housing gaskets

None of you use "The Right Stuff"? I used it for everything on my 400 and am super impressed with it. Not cheap though... Have you had to take anything apart yet? It is really good stuff, just gotta be careful what you use it on, it almost welds parts together. I use Permatex Ultra black on most stuff, and the gray on parts that I don't want to take apart for a long time, it is fairly hard to get apart too sometimes on certain things.

I prefer Black Silicone (16B) over the Ultra Black. But I have been using the Gray more here lately, depending on the application. I'm not a big fan of smearing that stuff all over everything. Just a touch on the rear seal and rear cap joints. A dab in the corners of the pan gasket, end seal joints. The ends of the intake. Maybe a smear around the water passage areas of the timing cover if it shows any corrosion damage. That's it.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

used the right stuff one time and swore it off the first time I had to dis assemble it, I think welding the intake on would of been easier to take off.

Try removing the oil pan or valve covers or valley pan with that stuff on the gaskets It ain't right after all on them

The only thing I ever use anymore is Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket. A thin coat brushed on the gasket and allowed 10 minutes to tack up. There is a place for silicone from time to time, but this stuff works and stays tacky, never hardens. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/ep...ASABEgLSevD_BwE Is this blue? If so, I think Permatex used to call it Hylomar. It's the only gasket sealer I use anymore. Hylomar is still available, but comes from England and is pretty spendy.

Permatex makes a sealer specifically for the chemicals in gear oil for rear end applications.
