Three-bond 1216 (Read 81 times)

RocksimusMaximus Junior Member 2005 No Login Offline Posts: 51	Three-bond 1216 11/23/08 at 15:45:31 I'm doin' a head gasket job and didn't run across any Three-bond 1216 down at my local auto shop. Anybody know where I can pick some up or if there is anything that works just as well?

The local chain auto store (Auto-Zone) had it. No matter what you use, make sure the surfaces are free of oil. Wipe it down with alcohol (90%) , acetone, or carb cleaner.

I find that if you let the liquid gasket partially cure before assembly, they create a better seal.

What I do is apply a small amount to both mating surfaces(after cleaning them with denatured alcohol of course). Let the liquid gasket partially cure ( a few minutes is all it takes) then assemble and tighten the bolts to spec.

Depending on the solvents used to make the liquid gasket, dry times can range from a few minutes to overnight. Make sure you read the instructuions carefully before using....

Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.
