Best and true advice I found on UA-cam. I'm an old timer also and been working on vehicles from the 60's and what he's saying about newer automobiles and the olders automobiles is so very true. You shouldn't be putting any type of gasket sealer or maker on a rubber or silicone gasket that they use in today's automobiles, they seal themselfs since they are silicone, they will slip sideways even if you don't see it in between the mating surfaces. Older cork and paper gaskets we did use the sealers to help hold them in place, either a little on the corners or only on one side. Shouldn't never put RTV or anything on a rubber or silicon gasket to help it seal, you ruined why they made it out of silicon or rubber in the first place. I see why people put the RTV on their rubber oil pan gaskets for extra insurance but it really does defeat the purpose of the rubber or silicone gasket. I find the newer rubberized gaskets are a blessing compared to the old paper or cork gaskets of the older generations. Scraping a paper or cork gasket from a oil pan and the bottom of the engine block was very tedious and time conconsumming back in the day.
Hi, interesting tip on the Aluminum expanding faster and therefore leaving a gasket sealer off of that side of a paper gasket. I have been debating how to do a few paper gaskets on a '91 Corolla. So even though I didn't buy any Mahle gaskets, this was helpful. Cheers...
You prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Lian Abram Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Fantastic info , smokin hot chick and wise old man , I like this composition. I mad a video years ago and i did not use sealer on a gasket for a timing chain galley gasket , i feared a sheet of sealer would blow out or something and i made the decision that sealer on some gaskets is a bad idea but i had no hot chicks that new a thing about gaskets or a wise old man to consult , glad to see i made the wright decision cus i needed a win here .
walk a mile in their shoes by making your own video if you can do better. I just stopped by to see what I could learn about sealing gaskets. Retired and have more time than money so doing some repair my own self now. Thanks for video
I have a 91 f150 4.9l that I want to change the water pump on, I saw a video where he advised using Permatex high tack gasket sealent to hold the to gasket in place, is this a bad idea? Anyways I plan on using a very very lite layer of this stuff just to help hold the gasket in place.... Thanks for the video.
I have a '04 Mazda RX-8 and cannot locate an OEM cork or rubber gasket to seal the oil pan. Can I use Mahle JV8 to seal the oil pan? If so, do you have tips on prepping and application? Thanks!
Any idea why a properly seated gasket was leaking right after being installed? The other gasket that's secured using the same bolts was perfect no leaks. This is on a 150cc scooter the inner case gasket was leaking after being installed.
Metal gaskets use threebond 1215 and never look back. I don't care what anyone says unless it's a brand new part metal gaskets are terrible at making a seal.
The JV7 sealer with my gasket says check bulletin SI579 yet that document is nowhere on the Mahle website. At least i cant find it. Why not a video showing how to use JV7?
Yes, it is always great to install a aluminum heads on a iron block, so coolant can mix with engine lubricants. So we can make more revenue from the public.
No sealer came with my gasket, so I've been trying to put it on dry for like 16 hours now and I'm pretty sure it's impossible. At this point I don't even care if it leaks, at least I can still drive my car without taking out the engine just to put this water inlet gasket on nice and dry. I'm gonna dip this gasket in the gasket sealer, cover it with super glue and then jb weld it to the gasket surface. When I'm done I'll spray that copper stuff all over the entire area lol.
@@johnwatkins3883 worked out great actually, not a drop of antifreeze leaking from it. Eventually I decided to use a magnet to hold it in place while I put the bolts in lol
@@johnwatkins3883 use a magnet or q-tips to hold gasket in place on those difficult areas. I was being silly earlier but I wouldn't ever put anything on the gaskets just as they recommend.
I install a mahle valve cover gasket two days later i big oil leak and check and it boke into two pieces and some of the gasket looked like it was starting to melt!! Never again will i buy from this brand!!
Mahle is Top Notch. I have successfully used this brand on GMC oil pans, BMW valve covers and Toyota valve covers. No RTV is needed except for a tiny dab on sharp corners. I ensure to clean the surface well and do a final wipe down w lacquer thinner. Have never had a leak.

@Lian Abram it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account !
@Pablo Jamie glad I could help =)
Pure wisdom! Should be taught everyone who owns a wrench!!

So you didn't use any gasket
sealer/marker for the timing chain cover and had no leaks?
Smoking hot chick? Where?
The volume in the video would have been much better if they had placed the microphones next to them instead of on the other side of the room.
it's funny because they're both wearing lav mics, but they're clearly not used here lol

What tread sealer would you use on an open thread going in to the crack case
Great Produts, only aftermarket gasket I've found that really matches OE quality.
HOLY SHIT THIS IS PAINFUL
I didn't find it painful, I would've preferred someone just explaining things to me normally, but this wasn't bad.
Thank you for going over the old cork gaskets.

That acting was umm... Informative video BTW

Should i use the JV7 on the engine side or oil pan side? Does it matter?
So let me get this straight,.....gasket sealants are not sealants? They are used as an adhesive for holding the gaskets in place?
yes
BS
What if my head gasket has very little damage! Can't I spray a thin layer of permatex copper spray on each side and put the head gasket back in???
No...get a NEW HEAD GASKET...ANY damage to your head gasket needs to be replaced...
So what do you use to hold a gasket in place so it doesn't fall out of the valve cover?
Indian Head Gasket Shellack on the component side, oil the other assuming paper or cork
Using a small dab of grease or Vaseline should do the trick

@@ronaldavis6018 hell yeah, I’ll be putting my heads and new gaskets on today sometime lol. Wish me luck gonna be a fun day.
