Henry,

Every engine builder has to assume some risk in his attempt to deliver a product to his customer or in my case an engine that doesn't leak oil. RTV730 could present some issues if the user was not careful in applying it. Likewise, if one chooses to torque the ARP bolts versus using the stretch method.

Applying a small bead around the middle of the cylinder base and using your vinyl clothed finger to spread the bead and let it sit for about ten minutes before you insert the cylinder should prevent any fallout of 730 into the engine, but it will seal the cylinder in the case as well as seal the copper base gasket to the cylinder and case.

Preparation and attention to detail in using this product will make this a must have on any serious 911 engine rebuild either for street or Race application-at least in the Jerry Wood's training camp enough said.
