Everything else I've tried has weeped or failed after awhile but, these things have been awesome for years. Same thing for the oil pan gaskets. I've tried many and their pink gaskets sealed and don't weep or do anything other than flat out work.

Haven't had a problem, but doing some things to my car and thought I would change out the 10 year old gaskets... Last edited by floridian; 09/29/17 04:35 PM.
