hey guys

i need to pop the lid off my supercharger in the coming weeks for "reaserch reasons". i was wondering what sealant is used, or what is another good product to use to re seal the lid when we come to re installation.

Ta

i dunno man, just ask at the auto store

i just used some high temp generral purpose black auto silicone...

it worked pretty good i'd say...

there is alot of allen bolts to take out though... just dont over torque them ;)

cheers dude! i know not to overtighten bolts, learnt the hard way many years ago as a kid.

Jase,
There are a couple of types u can get. 1 is a silicone base and it sets to, well, obviously a hard rubbery silicone type, or there is the non hardening type. An example of this is loctite 515 flange sealant, it doesnt harden, and i have used it on motorbike engine casings, without paper gaskets without any problems, and i did the rear bank of plugs on the TE and used it, again without the gasket and have had no problems.
Hope this helps,
Chrislol

good man! appreciated

Jase Give me a call I have Just the **** you need.It is designed for jet engines and workes gret on cars/bikes.,

You will need to avoid the use of a silicone based sealant as this will destroy the o2 sensor. There are some sealants which declare to be 02 and Cat safe, steer towards one of these
