Product:
LOCTITE 5920 Copper
High Performance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker
High Temp Resistance: 600°F Intermittent 700°F Intermittent
Could this product IMPEDE the ability of the exhaust manifold gaskets (fiber/metal gasket material) to work properly?
When I re-assemble the engine, i'm concerned the flanges on the exhaust manifolds themselves (not on the heads) may be slightly distorted for flatness, so I was thinking about installing this high temp RTV IN ADDITION (both sides) to the new gasket.
I don't want to risk that puttering leak like before, once I install this thing. Basically I want to do anything possible to ensure as good a seal as I can make, that will last for as long as possible.
