Granville Instant Gasket is a 40g tube of clear, acetoxy-cure silicone for making gaskets in place. Run a bead on a flange and it cures to a permanently flexible, non-shrinking seal that replaces a pre-cut gasket on covers and housings, and resists high temperatures, transmission fluid, water and antifreeze.

Good to know

• How much should I apply? A thin, even, unbroken bead run inboard of the bolt holes is enough; extra squeezes into the engine, where it can block oil passages or the oil pickup.
• Is it safe near oxygen sensors? It is an acetoxy silicone, which gives off acetic acid (a vinegar smell) while curing and can corrode bare copper; on engines with oxygen sensors, a sensor-safe gasket maker is the safer choice.
• When can I refill and run the engine? Only once it has cured, so follow the cure time on the tube; and don't use it in place of a head gasket or where a set gasket thickness is specified.

Which one?

Sensor-safe alternative: Q-Bond Ultra Strong Gasket Maker (QB7GM). Clear engineering-grade gasket silicone that fills gaps up to 4mm: Hylomar Hylosil Instant Gasket Sealant (F/SL303HY/040M).
