It is unbelievable the amount of sealant they used

Lol I was just going to say this, it's a complete disservice to those who don't know how to do this, they will think that's the right way. With that being said 2mm beads are good for most parts...

@RichieRich845 Жыл бұрын

The amount of RTV that is going to mix with oil is sure going to block most if not all the oil passages. Like Inviticus said a 2mm bead is all you need.

Saw many cars come in to my shop with no oil pressure, or spun crank bearings, clacking hydraulic lifters, seized engine, etc, because the sump pickup was plugged with silicone that sloughed off after a valve cover gasket replacement. Especially bad was that old Racers Blue silicone.

Reminds me of a short lived engine I disassembled.. Absolutely riddled with RTV squeeze out. It was like silicon spaghetti and it was everywhere.. Oil galleries, water passageways. Big daggy bits dangling down the intake runners.. Hard to know if the oil starvation was from the blocked pickup or just most of the engine oil being in the rocker cover because it couldn't drain fast enough lol.

Just used zrtv ultra black exactly as it says on the package instead of the ton used in the video and let it sit for about 27 hrs on a timing chain cover and water pump. The water pump leak at one spot. Wasted a day for one spot and now how to take it apart. For years I normally put it on one side of a normal gasket. Tomorrow I will replace with a normal gasket and no rtv. I like the silicone combination gaskets so I guess I’ll move into 2022 but I live in the country so I have to fix my truck to get there or walk… it’s only 7 miles to the store and when I was 12 that was a normal walk

@Currancchs 5 жыл бұрын

I don't think that he used enough sealant on that water pump ;) I hope this part is not being put into service like that, but at least it's not an oil pump! Good demonstration of the volume of sealant that the aerosol can is capable of putting out when you really put the hammer down though!

@@jacktheboss4life350 you got lucky,. Silicone will eventually let go with hot oil pressure. And the silicone cause goopines around the coolant and oil ports, sometimes plugging them off.. the head gasket also provides recommended factory head to block clearance, which could cause your engine to have piston to valve contact.

@gwayne919 7 ай бұрын

A friend had a problem with his oil pickup being blocked and I couldn't find the time to fix it. I had too many irons in the fire and the engine finally threw a rod through the side of the engine. Turned out to be blocked with too much silicone gasket sealant from a past oil pan seal that plugged the oil pump screen. Some mechanics are not up to snuff and haven't a clue. Another acquaintance used pure antifreeze and cracked an expensive block. The ignorance abounds and so I don't let too many people touch my vehicles and I don't have many problems with my work.
