Hi all. Anyone with any advice on gasket sealants please. The Haynes book states I should use ford gasket sealant a70x..blah blah when I reassemble the inlet manifold around all the water holes etc., can't find the sealant part number anywhere not even google! So instead of visiting Uncle Henry I though I could just whip to Halfrauds and get some but which type... red, blue, black, gold what does it all mean!

Cheers
Simon

S'okay! You've visited my profile then

Blue Hylomar was invented I think by Rolls Royce, and used throughout the Aerospace industry as a sealing compound. It really is good. I keep meaning to beg some more samples when I visit my Aerospace clients. Embarassingly it's actually a very long time since I actually bought any!
