Key Features & Benefits

This stuff basically fills in any tiny gaps between parts, mainly where the valve guides meet the cylinder head. It seals those spaces to prevent oil and combustion gases from leaking. Think of it like a really specialized, super – sticky caulk, but designed to handle the heat and pressures inside your engine. It’s not a glue – you’re not really bonding things together, more creating a tight, leak – proof fit. It’s used during engine rebuilds or when you’re replacing valve guides. You apply it around the outside of the valve guide before you press it into the head. It’s a critical part of ensuring your engine maintains proper oil pressure and compression. It doesn’t make the engine run, but it helps everything else work properly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If you don’t use this, or if it’s old and cracked, you’ll likely get oil leaks. You’ll notice if you've got a leak – burning oil smell, blue smoke coming from the exhaust, or just oil actually dripping. Worse, you could lose compression, which really hurts performance and fuel economy. It’s a small, inexpensive part, but a really important detail when you're rebuilding an engine. We've got a good selection of it at Fixparts Online, different types for different applications. It's one of those things where spending a few bucks now can save you a lot of headache and money down the road.
