Works amazing
This stuff is great. You must follow the instructions though. Donโt just apply and go.

High temperature gasket sealer.
Haven't used the caulk gun size tube yet but I've used the same product from a squeeze tube size container and I'm very pleased with the performance. I've used it on exhaust system welds to inhibit rust and on a John Deere tractor that was leaking from the oil pan gasket. Just applied it externally without removing the oil pan and surprisingly it stopped the leak and saved me from removing the engine. Two months later and not a drop of oil has leaked out. So happy. Great sealing agent.

Excellent high temp rtv on manifold.
Used to seal exhaust manifold gasket on tractor. Several months with no leakage. If using on manifolds, just put a thin bead on both sides of gasket, just around the ports. Also used to seal exhaust studs on tractor that penetrated coolant jacket. No coolant leaks.

Great product simple to use
I recently used the Permatex 27038 Optimum Red RTV Silicone to install my intake manifold, and Iโm incredibly impressed with its performance! This silicone sealant was very simple to use, applying smoothly and evenly without any mess. It formed a strong, reliable seal that held up perfectly under high temperatures and pressure, ensuring my intake manifold installation was rock-solid. The product lived up to its promises, providing excellent adhesion and durability. I highly recommend this RTV silicone for any automotive sealing needs!
