I have some gasket maker I have been trying out. This stuff has been out for quite awhile. Instead of just silicone rubber, this stuff has a different formulation that works well. I have used it on my oil pan as a gasket in the Subaru and I can say it is impervious to synthetic oil.

The can is pressurized and is easy to use to put down a fairly uniform bead. Below is my valve cover gasket. I always have trouble with the rubber gasket that goes here because it slips and then leaks. Now it won't.

I've seen that stuff before... never used it though... might have to look into keeping a can of this stuff in the garage... for those just in case needs!!!

Huh... That's pretty awesome stuff! I might need to look into getting some! About how much did that run you, Steve?

Was looking to see if AZ would have it, and it is roughly $17-$25 depending on the size you pick up... seems like a pretty good deal..

it work real good the only downside is you most of the time have to beat things off and cleaning it off isent easy out on the trail. but it is like having a box full of gaskets in one can.

That's nice. I like that its pressurized, sounds much easier than squeezing.

Yes, it has a nice rate, not to fast nor too slow.

We used that at work for a long time, now we use a similar product from Kimball. It comes in a bigger bottle for roughly the same price. Use it for wheel end seals and anything else you dont want to leak!
Great product!
