[TR] Gasket sealant for sump

[Dean Mericas]

I’m resealing the engine and transmission on my TR4 after 20 years of reliable service. 

Today I had a massive failure installing the sump gasket using Hylotyte Red100 sealant. It seems to have weakened the gasket to the point that it tore around several bolt holes as I torqued the bolts. 

Plan B is to thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and use Permatex Ultra Gray, which I’ve generally had good luck with on my Alfa Romeos. 

Before I do that, I wanted to see if any of you can recommend other sealants for this purpose. I only want to do it one more time. 

Thanks.
