So this has been something that's been at the back of my mind for a while and now that i am starting to make headway on my rebuild I was thinking about this. I've seen some lawnmower guys (Honda) and other cars with these aftermarket silicone gaskets. I don't mean RTV tube stuff, I mean full one piece molded silicone gaskets. The owners say they love them and that they seal really well and even can be used a few times because the material doesn't degrade with oil and heat.

Now I did a few searches and all I keep finding is threads for Jeeps and Fords and crap, what I'd like to know is does anyone make these for our cars and if so, who!?

Figured someone on this forum had to have tried one of these silicone gaskets before...

 

I've always just use black or grey rtv, cheap and it works every time if you follow the directions on the tube.

The silicone gaskets sound cool but to me it's an answer to a question I didn't ask, ya know?

 

i've never seen them available. might be a question best directed to www.racingbeat.com or www.atkinsrotary.com or www.mazdatrix.com and see what those guys are experimenting with and if they know of a source.

 

yeah i just use the factory mazda sealant, and its problem free. our honda oil pan leaks...
