Blacktop sump sealant?
What is that stuff that seals the steel pan on the bottom of the sump? Had a real struggle getting the pan off with the bolts out and now need to
stick it back on.
Anyone recommend a sealant??
Thanks,
Steve

Rhodorseal
failing that, gasket grade silicone will be fine
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Halfords sell some good sump sealant now, squirty can good fo 20 sumps for around £7. I used to buy wurth stuff but this seems just as good if not
better and its cheaper.
NB/ You need the special stuff that can handle oil so do not be tempted with any bathroom type sealant.

Hylomar is as good as any I would have thought, and easy to get hold of?

I purchased the Ford sealant as specified. It wasn't cheap but I've done two sumps and various other oil seals with it and nothing has
leaked.

Another for the ford sealant, I used it intially no leaks. Had to remove the sump and could only get hold of silicone sealant, been leaking ever
since.

I used a loctite anarobic gasket replacement product .I cant remember the exact product but it is an orange product that sets semi hard when tightened
up and is the same product as used on Rover K series engines for assembly.
If using a Lambda sensor you should not use any Silicone product as even minute traces will damage the sensor, always check the tube for the words O2
sensor safe.

The Loctite 598 stuff I used is Oxygen sensor safe - not that it matters for me as mine is low tech.
