Thanks Dave: I have no immediate need for the goo, but at that price I've ordered a couple of tubes!  :y

Thanks to all for advice. Halfords local do not stock Loctite 5980. nor does the local motor factor, so I used my 5990 in the end. Of course the sump seal is  above the sump oil level but to maintain sump pressure below atmospheric to satisfy emission regulations the sump seal should be good.

Your local Loctite/Wurth/Kent/whatever stockist will sell you their equivalent.


I've never had any problem with using clear silicone in similar places, but I could hear the multiple sharp intake of breath as I typed this ;D

You do need to be careful with silicon near petro-cem type products as it can dissolve and form 'gorilla snot', hence why its not advised.  :y

Blob a bit in some petrol to see what happens

If that Loctite stuff is good enough for the sump why is it not considered good enough for the oil cooler plate?Is it because there is greater pressure[from the cooling system operating under pressure]there than there is at sump join?
