Oil Tank RTV Silicone-What did you use?

[ROCKERDAN]

Yeah, got mine all apart and planning to do pics/vid of the process....Its been all apart draining/drying out ect....

Just figured this would be a perfect time this fall, to get everyone's opinion and which RTV they used, and what worked best for you all.

I know of one now that a few mentioned, and just wondered of others, as I only want to do this once!

thnx,
Dan

Here is one I'm considering so far.

Ultra Black. No leaks since Dan.

 

[NYTurbo]

I'd take it one step further and use permatex The Right Stuff

Thanks Mike, I could not remember what you used....Is there only one of them? Same as the pic I posted above correct?

I like that is a oil formula.

Ill have to google that, is that new? I dont think ive heard of it.

Would be nice to get several ideas here, I know just about all of these darn things leak sooner or later.

[NYTurbo]

Yep that's it.

Im wondering if their "Ultra" is their best, or is the 'Great stuff" best, or I also see on the permatex page, they have another level now......Its called 'Optimum"

anyone else?

Here is the comparison chart of ALL their gasket makers.....Im liking this new Optimum black alot. More Flex built in it seems.

Seems to be the next evolution above Ultra Black....here is ad on amazon.

 

[ROCKERDAN]

Video....Optimum series. Sounds like the Optimum black is best for lightweight components, I believe our oil tanks/chaincase are lightweight Magnesium.

Pretty small tube. Will 1 do it?

My dealer used Yamabond 6b. He put it on the case and used it on the sight glass.
I let it set up for a day before putting the oil in.
If you read my post, he also "peened" the case around the sight glass, because it was such a loose fit.
