I'm preparing to change out my timing chain following the directions from my Haynes repair manual. It talks about using a silicone RTV sealant instead of gaskets in various places throughout the repair. What it's not clear on, is which RTV to use. Most of the places around here carry Permatex brand RTV Blue for medium-heat use and Permatex Red RTV for high-heat use. The gaskets I have to replace are the timing chain cover, oil pan cover, thermostat cover and manifold gaskets if I decide I need to get a valve job done when I take off the cylinder head.
Any suggestions on which kind to use or other brands that might work better. Thanks...Tony
