Make sure its cat safe if using one or a wide band, most Silicone is not.

Ford sell small tubes of the stuff they use, it's mentally sticky, but expensive..

i was told the sealant which sets only when it is sealed from air (anaerobic) was best? - so the excess doesn't clog the oil picukp?


the last stuff i used to build an engine was terostat-9220 (henkel) cos i was given it, skoda allegedly use it to stick the octavia roofs on with?

i will let you know when i come to take it apart if i can!

the best advice is not to skimp on sealant.

I bought the Raceline sump and they say to use the ford stuff. With the fitting instructions it gives the part number which I can let you have if you need it?
