Henry,

Thanks for your reply on what Dow says the RTV730 can't do! How about stating what it can do! You could have also shown that it's purpose stated on their Web as well as printed on this box in front of me: RESISTANT TO MANY FUELS, OILS, & SOLVENTS AND (-70DEG F TO 500DEG F). I have also sealed a leak on the gas tank of my son's '67 Cougar with this RTV730.I would think that this is more important than worrying about corrosion of the small copper base gasket.

Bruce Anderson and Jerry Woods have been using this product to seal the 911 early Magnesium race cases for years with neglible effect on these cases. I have one of these cases built in 1998 by Woods with the RTV730 and it didn't leak-it's now apart and there is ZERO corrosion! It cleans better than the Loctite equivalent and did not leak a bit! Very important on the Race track if you are running a Porsche in SCCA and don't want to get Black-flagged by oil dripping or blowing on a header.
