Subject:What head nut sealant?
From:Don & Christina Preston
Date:Mon, 27 Nov 2000 15:54:26 -0800

Hi all,

So I received my shipment from the Bus Depot today and looking through the head gasket kit, I find that there is only one tube of sealant. The black stuff for the head gasket.

After speaking with the Bus Depot, I found out that the $49.95 Elring gasket set only comes with the head gasket sealant, not any head nut sealant. The $63.95 (about) Victor Reinz (sp?) kit comes with both sealants. I've used both kits now, both genuine german and seem to be of high quality.

A simple thing, and not a big deal at all, but would be helpful to know ahead of time....

So my question is, what sealant do I look for at my local FLAPS? I hope to start putting everything back together tomorrow morning. Any and all advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
