Below is a photo of curil T on a camshaft gasket....


This has happened multiple times to engine builders who use Curil on paper gaskets...specifically on the cam plate gasket.

The Curil T does not allow the gasket to achieve a mechanical bond to the surface, relying only on pressure of the hardware. As a result, the gaskets can walk and leaks develop.

I use 574 on all gaskets with the exception of valve covers as they need to come off from time to time. No leaks and no gasket wandering.
