THREEBOND TB1215 SILICONE
Over the years of owning my impreza the rocker gaskets 90% of the time have leaked. I've changed them so many times I've lost count :brickwall with and without silicone and always leaks from the back side where the half moons are,they do stop but not for long. Is it really worth buying this threebond TB1215 silicone (£28) when I do it again.

£28 were you buying that from jesus!!!!
Its the only thing i would use to reseal a engine/cam cover seals etc. WELL worth the money here is a link for you http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/part...y=three%20bond |
Thank's for the link but it's only .60p cheaper. That's £28 is to my door not plus delivery. Looks like i'm about to buy the dearest silicone going just hope it work's
|
Is it used as well as, or instead of, the gaskets?
Are you doing your own? Care to put up a guide how to? |
Oh sorry mate i collect didnt think re postage :( do it properly do it once :)
|
I wouldn't use anything else bar threebond,epic stuff for sealing once and forget about it
|
A better price...

The engines coming out for this one, I'm helicoiling some of the threads. The d!@khead befor me packed the the bolts out with washers to get them tighter and fu@ked some of the threads. Only good thing is I get to fit the new lightweight flywheel, clutch, recon box and Megan Racing Engine Mounts. I'm looking forward to getting it back on the road.

Care to put up a guide how to? i would say, the bottom left bolt, when doing the drivers side was the hardest, i cut down a 1/4" 10mm socket to get it on as the subframe stops a full socket getting on |

Nope, ring spanner wouldnt do it, rounded the head of the bolt
its from above the car, very hard to do from underneath not much oil lost didnt jack the car up, no need |
Damn.......being only 5'8", and with a bad back, I find it harder to reach over than to get under:(
|
Have done rockers cover gaskets before with wratchet ring spanner and 1/4" socket no problem
|
I used a 10mm wobble end rachet spanner. Great spanners for all sorts of stuff. more expensive ones are available but these are good

The reason subaru use the Threebond sealant is because some silicone sealers contain acid which eats into alloy where as the proper stuff doesnt, I have loads of the threebond sealant and use it for almost anything thats alloy as its specific for it
|
Thats a good selling point but i have used normal gasket sealants on alloy block for 15 yrs+ with no issues
The copper stuff i linked aboe is great for this job each to their own i guess, if your happy spending £30+ then cool, if not, £6 is better LOL |
