thank you frank

what is the advantage of using strip caulk over the typical blue silicone gasket maker?Cdn67 said:Just my 2 cents, but I would suggest spending the money on a seal kit while it's out. If you do this, also pick up a box of strip caulk (dum dum) to seal all the exterior leaks of the unit.

I used black silicon sealer for my heaterbox and everything looks/works great. I also replaced all the gaskets in there too.FunkyNova66 said:Can you use clear silicon for a sealer>
Do most parts stores carry strip caulk?
I'll be replacing my heater core within the next few days.
no mess at all and i could easily control the volume/thickness of the bead where necessary. no doubt GM would have used silicon sealer back in the day if it were available!novacars said:Silicone sealer is for bath tubs , and will make a mess . Use the DUM DUM
I had similar thoughts when I was started having mine done (it's still in limbo, waiting for chassis completion). I had the tank and distribution block blasted and powdercoated. It would have driven me nuts to know that with as much time and effort as I spent on everything else, that I didn't give the same time and attention to a component mostly, but not entirely, hidden under the dash.BTHOMAS67Wagon said:I think the worst part was sandblasting every nook and cranny of the thing !!
