housing/iron leg sealant
ive begun rebuilding my s5 NA shortblock and i had a question about the sealant for the legs of the rotor housings. i remember reading some time ago that i am NOT supposed to use black RTV sealant, but i cannot find any information on what i am supposed to use. any suggestions?

I've been using permatex right stuff for awhile now and it works great. pricey stuff.. but tuff. I don't even buy gasket kits anymore. I re-use the front cover o-ring and dowel o-rings just smear right stuff on them before inserting.. on my last rebuild the only thing I replaced were the side seals and apex seals. so that and a bottle of right stuff was the total expense of my rebuild... roughly 300 dollars.. there's cheaper better alternatives to the coolant seals too but you'll have to figure that out for yourselves.
