Hey guys,

I remember a while back when people are doing engine work they would show pictures of a tube of toyota sealant?

I ,of coarse, am a toyota fanboy-whore and would gladly jump on the bandwagon and buy some sealant to do engine work.

Such as honda bond for hondas, is toyota sealant all that great?



(stolen picture from sinyk)


anyone know if my local toyota parts dealership will have it in stock or would i most likely have to buy it online?
Where did you guys get yours? its it worth all the trouble to get some when you can easily grab some rtv from autozone/napa/kragens... ect?

they will have it in stock.
FIPG is WAY better than the permatex rtv.

I have never used any other sort of sealant. I must say that the toyota stuff is really good and of course it is way overpriced at $17 with tax included.

I just sealed my lower pan to the upper plan and when i was taking off the old sealant the lower pan was really stuck to the upper and lower oil pan. You have to use a razor blade to get that sealant loose.

and how would you use that on the camshaft housing? any diagrams or pics of what camshaft housing is??

toyota FIPG keeps my valve cover/distributor/oilpan from leaking ANY oil!!! all for 16.40$ CDN

THIEF!!!


j/k. No leaks since I did my valve cover gasket a few months back with that FIPG. I recommend it.

Did you use the FIPG instead of the rubber gasket or in addition to it?

According to the factory manual, you only use FIPG at the half-moon joints (tiny spots) and use the rubber gasket. Works for me and the rubber gasket is reusable, which FIPG is not.

yes you use it in addition to the rubber gasket, put a penny sized glob of FIGP on each corner (half moons)

i always thought it was a bad idea to re-use the rubber gasket on the valve cover... and being that i cant find the rubber gasket for an st 215 somebody suggested i use some sealant... im weary of it...

Oh hellz no! dont just use sealant, thats a disaster waiting to happen. Call up your local dealer I gurantee you they will stock it. wont be more than 40$

when i've taken down seeping pans on toyota V6's the factory sealant has seemed like 'ultra gray' permatex.
