What is the best gasket sealer brand to use if I am going to change or clean the gasket of the engine of my car?

Question from V. Diola:

Hello. I would like to ask what is the best gasket sealer brand I have to use if I am going to change or clean the gasket of the engine of my car? I have an 89 Toyota Chaser, somewhat the same model as an 89 Cressida. I cannot seem to find a replacement part for the engine gaskets so I am thinking on just cleaning it up and use sealers to seal the engine. Thank you.

Answer from Permatex:

Thanks for your question.

The best Permatex product to use on a rocker cover gasket is Ultra Black. Permatex Ultra Black has been developed to have the highest resistance to automotive engine oil.

Once you have removed the old rocker cover gasket you will need to make sure that you clean up the surfaces of the rocker cover, head and the old gasket, making sure that they are clean and oil free. Then apply a layer of Ultra Black onto the surface of the head, fit the rocker cover and gasket to the engine. Make sure to torque the rocker cover bolts to the recommended torque level.

You must allow at least two hours for the silicone to begin to cure before running the engine other wise you run the risk of it not sealing properly.

Ultra Black is available in two sizes 80ml tube and 300ml cartridge, just ask the staff at your nearest Supercheap Auto for help.
