Why choose this product

Engineered for High-Torque Import Engines

Permatex The Right Stuff Grey Gasket Maker is specifically formulated for engines with closely spaced bolt patterns, common in many import vehicles. This means it handles higher torque loads without failing, ensuring a superior seal where standard gaskets might leak. Its instant-sealing capability means you can get vehicles back on the road faster, a critical advantage for mechanics and car owners alike. Unlike traditional gaskets that can be messy and time-consuming to install, this RTV silicone creates a custom-fit gasket on the spot, providing a reliable, long-lasting seal that resists blowout and powertrain fluids.

Who It's For vs. Who Should Skip It

This gasket maker is perfect for automotive mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and car owners working on import vehicles, high-performance engines, or any application requiring a robust, instant-sealing gasket resistant to heat and fluids. It's ideal for valve covers, oil pans, transmission pans, and thermostat housings. However, if you're looking for a sealant for non-automotive applications like household plumbing or window sealing, this product's high-temperature and fluid resistance might be overkill and less cost-effective. For those sensitive to chemical fumes during curing, ensure adequate ventilation as with any RTV silicone.

How to use

Clean and dry both mating surfaces thoroughly. Remove all old gasket material, oil, and contaminants. Ensure surfaces are completely free of moisture and grease for optimal adhesion. — Prepare Surfaces
Puncture the tube seal and attach the nozzle. Apply a continuous bead of gasket maker, approximately 1/8" to 1/4" (3-6mm) wide, to one of the surfaces. Avoid excessive application. — Apply Bead
Join the parts immediately after applying the bead. Tighten bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque. The gasket can be put into service in just one minute after assembly. — Assemble Immediately
While the gasket is serviceable in one minute, allow 24 hours for the RTV silicone to fully cure for maximum strength and fluid resistance before exposing it to engine fluids or high temperatures. — Allow Full Cure
