Engine build HYLOMAR??
Hi im in the middle of some engine work (replacing coolant seals). I was wondering what does hylomar do for a build because when i rebuilt my first engine 4 years ago i never used this product. (i watched a video on Youtube where guys where using hylomar in between rotor housings and side plates. If anyone can shed any light on how and why i should use this product. thanks again

Hylomar is a gasket dressing. It is very useful in holding the coolant o-rings in place and helps make a better seal. Some use crisco or petroleum jelly, but I have had better results with Hylomar. I apply it to the coolant o-ring grooves with a syringe. We use in in every rebuild.

You just have to be careful with any petroleum based product as it can make 'O' rings enlarge/get soft. Crisco, being a vegetable oil, works good. I still prefel Hylomar, I'd heard it was going to be taken out of production so went and bought a few tubes of it.
