RTV Engine Sealant is a one-component, room-temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealant. It is a high viscosity engine sealant that cures when exposed to air. The cured material has adhesion and elongation properties and is effective even on large gaps. It is very resistant to engine oils and coolants, will not corrode metals, and is blow-out resistant. This engine sealant is also oxygen sensor safe. This product comes in a tube for easy, pinpoint application.

Good Maintenance Practices - S1 B1 | Engine sealants are able to fix engine leaks, but it is important to check on the size and nature of the leaks before use. If leaks are large and fluids are pouring out of the vehicle, more significant engine repair is likely required. Attempting to fix a major leak with engine sealant could lead to contamination of other fluid reservoirs and end up causing major damage to the vehicle. |
Good Maintenance Practices - S1 B2 | Carefully follow the directions for engine sealant application, as improper use can also cause significant harm to the engine. |
Good Maintenance Practices - S1 B3 | Consulting a technician is a great way to determine if the leak is too large for engine sealant and to ensure the proper application of these products. |
Good Maintenance Practices - S1 B4 | For application of these products: Surface should be free of residual fluids such as oil and coolant, as well as detergent residuals. Joints should be closed within 20 minutes of sealant application. Final tightening should be done within one hour of sealant application and joint closure. |
