Contact cement and a silk thread is still used on piston aircraft engines as an oil pan gasket, only you dont cut the thread and piecemeal it around the inside of the bolt hole, you run it full length along the outer perimeter and loop it back on the inner perimeter, which seals both sides of the bolt holes.
@ricos4700 No matter how precision ground 2 surfaces are, they still need some sort of sealing material. Using a silk thread simply shows how precision ground the surfaces are.
Right. All of the older GM blocks that used a mechanical fuel pump had the opening there so that the fuel pump could be mounted and it ran of the camshaft, but this is clearly a newer block that just has the pad and doesn’t have the opening that goes to the camshaft. He could’ve just bolted the block off plate onto the block without silicon if he didn’t like the look of the open pad. Oil definitely isn’t going to leak through cast iron!!!
Right, but he did all the locktite and string thing and still just ended up using the fuckin gasket so my question is why do any of it if you’re just going to use the thing intended to do that job
@michaelwooda9444 me too until dad brought home some surplus red RTV from McDonnell Douglas Aerospace where he used to work sealing everything from airliners to space capsules.
@motrock93b you are correct. The last time I did, it was in 1969 on a high-performance 2182 VW Dune buggy engine, I had forgotten that. Dad worked at Douglas Aircraft and was a sealer/bonder so I got to sample the future. In 1968 we were using surplus red RTV on cars at home.

My buddy had a fuel pump on a international scout go bad that he has owned for 20 years. He took it apart to see what the failure was and compare it to the new one. When he opened it up there was a moon pie box cut out and used for the seal.
The only pressure on that gasket is crankcase pressure from ring blow by, and it never even becomes 1 psi as the positive crankcase vent is connected to the intake system and engine vacuum sucks out any crankcase fumes.
@@robertragsdale6955it absolutely will not on the small block chevy he is working on. Even with 10 to 1 compression and a cam and headers there wouldn't be 1 psi crank case pressure unless there was engine damage. A later model vehicle with a factory turbocharger or supercharger could definitely have over 1 psi of crankcase pressure but not a naturally aspirated engine unless the emissions system is designed to work in a way that causes it.
More than likely he's an engine builder/machine shop. The first block off would have held just fine with the silk thread and gasket putty. But he included the gasket and an additional block off plate just in case the person buying is running an electric fuel pump instead of a mechanical fuel pump.
50 Million small block chevy engines were manufactured without one drop of any type of gasket adhesive or silicone and the oil pressure sending unit was more likely to begin leaking than any of the gaskets.
How were they sealed. I'll guess- with very accurate machined surfaces and accurate torque tightening. Otherwise those engines would have needed something between the surfaces as pressure builds up.
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes, people make so much shit out of nothing. He's working on it in his shop or where ever. I'll guarantee there a gasket in that overhaul kit.
This is pretty funny because as someone who has worked on scores of SBCs this could not be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, I've had several Camaros and Firebirds and the most rust free areas of the chassis is consistently the firewall behind the engine and transmission tunnels because they profusely leak oil as they age which is blown by the fans into these areas creating a protective layer of grease. First, they are absolutely required to use gasket maker on every single SBC. The oil pan gaskets and the intake manifold gaskets are a multipiece design which MUST have sealant applied. These gaskets are still so prone to leaking the aftermarket has made some one piece gaskets. Assembly instructions for new engines from GM also requires gasket maker around the water ports in all but the newest Vortec engines which were get this, prone to leaking water at the intake manifold water ports! Even GM realized their multipiece rear main seal was a bad idea prone to leaks and replaced it with a redesigned block to incorporate a 1 piece seal back in the 80's. Valve cover gaskets leaked basically all the time. There were grocery stores that literally stocked SBC valve cover gaskets in their convenience aisle back in the day because this was so common. The valve cover gasket sealing surface was not even machined, just a rough cast iron surface up till the mid 80s or so. Being that the valve covers were literally stamped sheet metal you also couldn't over torque them to try and make the gasket conform to the rough surface because then they would bend and leak 100%. On that note the timing chain cover and oil pan were also just sheet metal and would also leak if you did not take the utmost care when torqueing them down. Even then they were again prone to leaking over time. I had good luck keeping them sealed up but they were basically glued together with RTV literally used everywhere.
Silk thread is a great way to seal vw cases together with a sealant such as form a gasket. You can always tell when one is built that way, no oil spots on floor. Also use it on the jugs too.
Ive worked all over and the best bush mechanics come from Vietnam. Weld cranks back together, make crank bearing out of bamboo, walk miles down the road picking up pieces of engines, put back in place and keep going.
I’ve installed hundreds of those fuel pumps in the final build department at lycoming engines. Using the tread with the gasket doesn’t make sense. The case halves are assembled with a thread seal and that’s it. Wasting time to make it look cool for the videos is the only reason for this.
Im not sure this is showing anything worthy of a video. This is showing someone doing unnecessary things to probably and old 350 converted from mechanical to electric lift pump. Slap some grey silicone on clean surface, go take a dump, smoke cig, drink coffee or beer, allowing silicone to tack up and install fasteners with torque wrench. Loctite though?? What is the point of the red Loctite?? Not only is that shit expensive, they make silicone for this application, maybe he no get the memo.
Silicone sucks for oil bathed surfaces you went to seal. Try some form a gasket or case sealant… St least some right stuff from permatex…. Not silicone gasket maker 🤦🏼♂️
@GR40RCapri I 100% agree with you that if you do not have a properly cleaned oil free surface to start with then that silicone will not work and just make mess. If surface is completely cleaned and void of contaminants and you let it tack up properly before torquing bolts. It will certainly work,, but, whenever possible I would certainly rather use a gasket. That's a no Brainer. I was just commenting on him using Loctite which I know is just ignant!
That's a downgrade to me. I have a Gen V 366 tall deck with no place for a mechanical fuel pump that I don't like. I picked up a Gen VI that has a place for a mechanical fuel pump but it had a cracked cylinder so I set it to the curb. Now I know that it could have been sleeved. Live and learn I guess.
Year I'd love to hear. Especially about the string and putting it on then taking it back off just so you can then put it together with the proper gasket. Makes no sense
The silk thread is great! So are the flexible sealants. I grease those stupid paper gaskets so they don't form the bond from hell when I disassemble. I am a little curious how calibrated your screwdriver torque method is. I doubt you got a proper stretch on the bolt to keep it secure.
@user-ie4pv9vv5e Before silicone, we used shellac and laying the threads over each other causes a thickness difference at that point so we'd lay ends side by side thigh together for .25 inch !
Permatex 2 is the fix. Just do not forget about that upper hole above the front oil pan rail that will leak oil if you do not plug it with a 3/8"-16NC x 1/2" long bolt . It intersects the passage bore where the mechanical fuel pump push rod goes through .
I was going to comment about that. Have fixed many mystery oil leaks because of that. They change pan gaskets, crank seals, and it still leaks. Well of course 50$ and 5 minutes later a reluctantly happy but pissed off mechanic drives off. Don't worry I won't tell your buddies haha
We used to use Permatex and silk thread on the crankcase halves of the vertically split crankcases of the British motorcycle engines. We didn't piecemeal out the thread, though. We ran it in one continuous loop.
Okay folks .. I think this engine block is being prepared for shipping.He is first sealing the block because there will be some oil in the block and then he adds the gasket under the second sheet metal cover.. The gasket is the one you will need for the fuel pump that gets installed in that location..

I dont know about that string part. But im totally with you on the amount of sealer. I use the gray and try to get it almost clear. Just enough to hold the gasket.
so when you give the motor back to the customer you can tell if he was digging in to it or not if there is a problem and he brings it back for the warranty show shops do this to keep you honest
I think it was a comparison of how much easier it is to use the right thing than a makeshift thing. otherwise it looks like there is two plates and gaskets also the fisrt two screws have a threaded hole for another screw to go into it.
Yeah on case halves or other machined parts going together silk string will work. The blocks not even drilled for the pump rod so it would have been fine, but on an older block it ain't working on a chinesesium chrome block off plate
That's too much work give it a rough texture not a smooth surface and thin lair of black silicone never had a problem with a block off plate or the mechanical fuel pump leaking oil
Oh brother. Old school would have glued the gasket to the cover then glued or sealed that assembly to the block. Finger tighten the bolts and let it sit for 15 minutes (using silicones) and then finish tightening the fasteners. Also allow 24 hours for sealants to finish curing. Done...... & done right
@@AlexJonesWasRight1776 what mechanical pump? The video shows a pump port being sealed with a cover.....as for what you choose to seal it with is up to you , it all works. Using RTV sealants is simply an indicator of patience and experience.

so when you give the motor back to the customer you can tell if he was digging in to it or not if there is a problem and he brings it back for the warranty show shops do this to keep you honest
I think it was a comparison of how much easier it is to use the right thing than a makeshift thing. otherwise it looks like there is two plates and gaskets also the fisrt two screws have a threaded hole for another screw to go into it.
Your 1st mistake was getting rid of the mechanical fuel pump
Please do not butcher that song lol. It was much better the way they actually covered it. Not when it's sped up and altered.
That's what I keep saying! Just butchered it
Simon and Garfunkle did not use autotune. Both the music and the cars were better back then. F#%$ am I turning in to my Grandfather?

You can put sealer on sides of the surfaces in contact?
Right Stuff seals great but is God awful to remove when cured
That's why you use it with a cardboard gasket. That's how I was taught, anyway.
WTF 😂😂😂
What in god’s green earth is going on here
For the "get you home" repair
I remember when this song was originally cool
a dollar bill works if you don't have dental floss and the permatex.
Someone should tell him the gasket should go between the block and the delete plate 😂
The plate was installed then removed and a gasket placed, then the delete plate reinstalled
@@robertragsdale6955 Oh yeah, missed that.
Think how much cash would have been saved if the device that mounted here was never installed or invented
Yeah on case halves or other machined parts going together silk string will work. The blocks not even drilled for the pump rod so it would have been fine, but on an older block it ain't working on a chinesesium chrome block off plate
That's too much work give it a rough texture not a smooth surface and thin lair of black silicone never had a problem with a block off plate or the mechanical fuel pump leaking oil
But he told that thread crap off and used a gasket
Closing off the manual fuel pump to the camshaft 😊
Veri good👍
Was that floss?
A high level of stupidity in these comments!! Lordy people 2 methods and both work! Rtv isn't always the answer!
The song is low key fire
That a lot of just to blank out the fuel pump mounting port ( spacer ,dental floss ,sealant ,gasket and cross check)
UltraBlue and a gasket would be fine..
Oh brother. Old school would have glued the gasket to the cover then glued or sealed that assembly to the block. Finger tighten the bolts and let it sit for 15 minutes (using silicones) and then finish tightening the fasteners. Also allow 24 hours for sealants to finish curing. Done...... & done right
Noold school we put that mechanical pump back with a quality gasket with no rtv bs on it.
@@AlexJonesWasRight1776 what mechanical pump? The video shows a pump port being sealed with a cover.....as for what you choose to seal it with is up to you , it all works. Using RTV sealants is simply an indicator of patience and experience.
The aerobic sealer sufficient. He could throw the gasket away
That's loctite not sealer 😅
@@BlackandWhitecustoms loctite is a anaerobic sealant 😅
@@Mad-productions.Jay. oops 😬😂
@@BlackandWhitecustoms It's anaerobic sealer made by Loctite. Google it
