> From: John Napoli <jgn@li.net> > I don't recall the temp range of the stuff (it is supposed to be > compatible with engine temps, but I would expect that to mean operating > temps and not combustion chamber temps). I would suppose so, too, but what I'm suggesting is using this stuff between the valve seat and the head. That should be closer to coolant temp than combustion temp, I think. > I suppose that it would work, but I would worry that Marine Tex is not up > to the pounding that it would receive if used as you describe. Yeah, I guess it might just crumble into dust. > A Loctite-type product should be better. Of > course the key is to go with the best set of tolerances seat-to-head. I have a feeling that's the way I'm going. As long as I'm having a new seat installed -- which I understand requires heating the head and chilling the seat -- I may ask them to hang the head upright while it's hot and spray some WD40 or some such onto the seats and see how many hit the floor. -- Kirbert | If anything is to be accomplished, | some rules must be broken. | - Palm's Postulate Follow-Ups:
