LOCTITE518 Gasketing Compound | For machined metal components with gaps up to 0.25 mm | 50 ml

Loctite 518 is called for on 2 of 9 bolts for my seadoo. Why, I imagine it goes through water jacket and handles temp. Anerobic loctite. Glad I was in no hurry for it. Permatex must make a similar product that is easier to get?

I have used this product for years. When a customer kept blowing a head gasket on his race car, that lots of compression. He was directed from engine builder ,that he needed to 'o ring' the block,or use a 200$ copperHead gasket. I tried this gasket eliminater ,w/great success. No more blown gasket for 3 race seasons.First time I've ever used anything on a head gasket ,other than metallic spray paint.

The Loctite 518 did a very good job sealing the crank housing on my Evinrude engine the only problem I have is I wish I would’ve purchased the tube with the new roller applicator

I used this product on crankcase seals for my 2 Husqvarna chainsaws I rebuilt. Worked well. Product is very tacky but so far no leaks as both saws have worked flawlessly. While using this product is not specifically recommended by Husky when replacing seals anyone who has done the job knows that you don't really want to do it twice because of an air leak. Why take the chance I thought. So I used this as insurance. Glad I did. Hope this helps

I purchased Jan 26, 2024 and it expires April 25, 2024.
