Interesting application.  Not sure how it would stand up to some of the
temps of the engine.

I have a 82, I have almost all new rubber, except 3 seals for the
following:  The 2 around the alternator tubing to the exchangers (pn: 070
119 585), and the oil filler tin seal (pn:  070 119 953 B or C)

I cant find a max operating temperature on their site for Versimold but I'm
sure the top of the engine gets to about 210F easily from heat transfer
from the case of the engine alone.
