Gasket-Crankcase

Hello Matt, thank you for your question. Gasket sealant is commonly used alongside solid gaskets, as they are repairing older parts. Gasket sealant can be used to make cheaper gasket materials more robust, increasing adhesion and chemical/water resistance. There are many types of gasket sealant available, just the same as gasket materials, each for different applications. A general rule, if you are using gasket sealant, you don’t need a lot! A tiny amount skimmed over a surface to fill any slight indents is all that is required for most applications. I hope this helps.
