Pros and cons of base gakets

[Moparmyway]

I thought motoseal was easy to clean up. Most of it scrapes off. What does not scrape off cleans up with carb cleaner. Someting like RTV is nasty to clean up.

A wire brush works good on motoseal too.

While Motoseal isnt concrete, nothing is as easy to clean as 518 is.
It mostly just wipes off with a rag, the harder stuff just wipes off with a little acetone on the rag.
I dont like anything falling into the crankcase, unless I'm going to be splitting the case

OK Brewz, putting Motoseal on the base before you even have a piston on ... Too many beers!!!

I mostly use the 518, but follow Randy's advice ... the surfaces have to be very clean ... lightly sand first, then use brake cleaner.

How did u do hunting Apex this year Mike ?

 

[MustangMike]

We had a lot of sign, but saw nothing! Discovered they were baiting with corn pretty heavily on the other side of the Mountain, so I believe that was part of the problem. Very discouraging, too many are doing it, even after one of them was busted (laughed at the fine).

How did you make out? (Luckily, I got a nice 8 pt locally with the MZ in regular season, no rifles allowed here).

I wasn't as think as you drunk I was.
Method to my madness
I find it easier to get the sealer on with no piston.

I clean the surface down with carb cleaner

Good job !!! I didn't fill any tags , but had a lot of fun ! I believe the herd is slowly recooperating from the winter of 2014 . Some of those baiting bastards (masturbaters) pulled most of the deer from our property several yrs ago with corn piles ... We planted Clover , Brassicas , oats , rye , in several areas to help "keep them home ".

 

[MustangMike]

I'm gonna have to plant some stuff, but it is so wooded and I don't have any heavy equipment, makes it tough.

We have found corn piles and mineral licks in virtually every direction. My 50 acres and one directly next to me seem to be the only ones playing by the rules. The guy on the other side does not hunt, and says we can hunt there, but he tells everyone that, and we have found corn piles on his property also (even though he did not put them there).

It just gets frustrating when the playing field in not level.

 

[DrewUth]

Absolutely easier to apply sealant before the piston is on...even gives it time to "tack up" as most manufacturers recommend.

Dunno how you guys think RTV is ok...it's fuel soluble. The Ultra Grey/Motoseal/Yamabond stuff is fuel resistant which makes it a much better choice. I would never use Black/Blue/Red/Copper RTV anywhere that may come in contact with fuel, the stuff just turns to jelly.

 

[MustangMike]

Good advice on the before I install the piston, that should make my life a lot easier!

I think someone said there was Black Silicon that was rated as fuel resistant???

 

[mdavlee]

There is a black rtv that's used in diesel engines and oil resistant. It shouldn't come in contact with it if the cylinders bolts stay tight.

 

[Brewz]

Just my 0.02c but when there is a product rated as oil and fuel resistant, I am not going to risk using a product that's not

 

[merc_man]

It's not the worst. Brake cleaner gets it right off usually.

Good to know.

I truly do not know, as I've never had that happen to me, nore have I heard of such a thing either. Maybe @afleetcommand can help possibly.

Thanks Walt, I think that pretty much solved the mystery.

 

[Dolmar Junkie]

Haha it happens. I'm going to box up about 6 or 7 things today and hope I don't forget something.

That happens when you download to many"files"....

When I asked for Mike's address it was a federal prison? He gave me instructions to put it in a cake….

I feel like I'm in PRISON,I like cake also....
