Gum Gum yay or nay??

[macc nova]

Has anybody used gum gum before? if so how is it good and would you recommend it?

[macc nova]

or what other sealants do people use?

[Novadex]

gaskets! :thumb:

[macc nova]

yeah ive got a gasket on just a little bit of air is seeping though! and there is no little bits stuck in there either, just need something to close it up

[Nobby]

stick some FU CK IN gum gum on there !!

[Novadex]

yeah or exhaust paste?? not sure where your talking about tho mater...

[Riggy]

are we talking about your head and 1.3 inlet ?

are both the faces clean and free from pits etc etc and are they both square might be worth getting them machined if not or bodge it with a double gasket lol

[NOV4_SPORT]

its good for sealing joints, and for a temp repair really mate.

[Adam]

Its good to seal exhaust joints.

No good for anything else tho.

[macc nova]

oright when i went to mikeanics he put put a black paste on (the converson plate gasket) when it was on the 1.4 inlet! but ive had to take it off to go on the 1.3 inlet ?????

[Adam]

The conversion plate for a weber 32/34?

You can buy a proper gasket for that.

Or silicone instant gasket is suitable, i hate using silicone gasket tho, never seems to seal right.

[macc nova]

where can you get the gasket from? dont think you could buy it from vauxhall as webers arent factory???

[Adam]

Not sure where you get them from, but i had a few a while back, i used them tho.
There like a figure of 8 with 3bolt holes.

You could just use silicone gasket.

[macc nova]

i have just put some on waiting for it to set now

Gum Gum is usless at sealing anything i've found...

I always use high temp silicone. Works a treat and lasts for time..

[macc nova]

yeah i couldnt find any gum gum so i bought some high temp silicone and

waiting to see if its worked when i next start the car

[Adam]

Where is it leaking?
Between the adaptor and the inlet?

Silicone will probably sort that, it usually dries pretty quickly too.

Blue Hylomar Sealant

Basically Instant Gasket

Can get Halfords versions, in Red or Blue (Both different Grades though)

Designed to work with/instead of Gaskets

Used it a lot before, no troubles, use it on high pressure (5Bar +) fuel systems on my work equipment... No troubles!:thumb:
