Hydro cork seal replacement
 

Stolen for another web site. Nice write up with photos. May have been posted on here before?

I agree with everything except the anaerobic sealer. That is not meant for gaskets. I'm sure the guy posting has had good luck with it because it is a good product, but that is not what it's for. Cork gaskets seal fine when you install them dry.

For the record yes, this topic has been covered on this site multiple times. :beerchug:

I followed that and used a light coating of gasket sealer and it worked fine.

I've also had good results with the Permatex red-brown concoction. Stays sticky and I don't worry about it hardening, breaking off and falling into the "works."
