Re: The Right Stuff
The stuff is actually a lot better than anything else I have used. Its expensive but when I use it its for some extremely demanding application. Example I use no gaskets on some of my race engines especially in the oil pan and timing cover area the Right stuff can take this abuse and seal everything nicely.

Re: The Right Stuff
As posted,it is a very good sealer and not just a repackaged clone. Right Stuff, when used on clean dry parts (as it should be) is seriously strong. You may well have a difficult time getting some stuff back apart so be sure to keep that in mind.Not that it's impossible to remove, but it is very tenacious.

Re: The Right Stuff
I've been using it on my last couple engine rebuilds. It's a very good product I've had no leaks on any of them. I find it much better than RTV

Re: The Right Stuff
I once had a customer with aftermarket v/c's on a sbc. Store-bought gaskets didn't fit, and leaked bad. I made the complete 'gasket' out of Right Stuff, it sealed perfectly, never leaked again. Very convincing experience.

Re: The Right Stuff
Would this be a good product to use on head bolts/studs?

Re: The Right Stuff
We used to use it on Chevy head bolts, or any other bolt/stud into water, works great! No seeping head bolts after we went to it.
