I have yet to find a product this cheap that works this well. 12$ a tube and it is better than the permatex right stuff and VW sealant that is 40$ per tube.
It's RTV but thicker, and you can sculpt with it almost. I used a very light layer of it on my intake pieces. This was after removing the dead paper gasket from the phenolic spacer/intake manifold gasket on my 1.8l L-jet. Snugged down the 13mm nuts on the studs and barely any visible bleed out. It's thick so it will not compress out like RTV unless you torque on it very hard. I guarantee this seals better than any brand new intake manifold gasket. Not original/concourse but I could not see spending 8$ on a new gasket to get another plastic phenolic spacer with paper attached to it that sucks. (IMG:http://www.handa-accessories.com/hondabondlrg.jpg) You could easily do an oilpan gasket out of this, it is much easier to work with than permatex right stuff, which I had used in the past for gasketless sealing. We all know standard RTV sucks and compresses out, does not stick etc. Pick up a tube for 12$ and see for yourself, most honda dealers have it or order it from the internet. If I missed the memo on an equal or better product for this price or cheaper please let me know. Opinions, and your favorite sealants and stuff for these jobs? I want to add, this stuff rules so much the sealant creep effect on compression was so miniscule there is no way it would creep into the intake ports.... like the RTV over the dead greasy/oily paper that was on there before. Also, all surfaces should be super clean. I wire brushed the head surface and held my shop vac next to the brush/ports to suck debris up then vacuumed the intake ports back out as well. |

Add in no moving passenger side seat, and a motor that costs more than some surgeries to rebuild, while still making 300hp or so at most. Oh wait, don't forget the 6 prestige.

I'm thinking resale value here. Although as the owner of a no-sunroof long hood 911, I may already be sitting pretty. |

I'm thinking resale value here. Although as the owner of a no-sunroof long hood 911, I may already be sitting pretty. To me a 914/6 is like having a 16v scirocco instead of an 8v. Same chassis, at this point in time you can make it better. I did not buy my 914 to make money. I never buy cars to make money. I buy them to sink money into, and break the money I sink into it racing and acting like a child. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I hope that resale value is sky high, because 914/6 parts prices for the motor, exhaust and other bits are retardedly expensive for no other reason than being labelled "Porsche" and the fact that most 6 cylinder Porsche owners are fairly well off. Sort of a historical market thing i would say. Really though 914's in general will be going up, because good luck finding clean ones now that they are 30-35 years old. Same thing with 911's of the vintage/era. Especially since the price of scrap metal was insanely high the last few years, I guarantee a lot of salvage/save worthy 914's were smooshed and turned into hummer parts or pepsi cans. |
