Re: silicone valve cover gaskets - made easy! - and by accident! 2003 09:33:05 -0500

"Usually lodges someplace in the engine"

Yep...

Had a mechanic once who was fond of
using silicone as a gasket for the often
troublesome thermostadt area. The
silicone worked just fine as a "gasket"
but unfortunately, a great deal of it 
ended up "in" the cooling system where
I am sure it "coated" everything with a
nice thin "film" of the stuff which must
have done wonders for "heat transfer"! :(
