Find that it does make for a long lasting gasket. Surfaces do need to be clean but if they are then you actually get a good seal. http://permatex.com/products/prodidx...&item_no=80064

Hi Phil..
That is good advice ,especially with the thermostat housing gaskets and intake manifold gaskets...
Shouldn't hurt on exhaust manifold gaskets ..
Do you also use it on head gaskets..??
Clean and dry and new head gasket usually works..
I know that any oil deteriorates the head gasket and problems down the road usually occur ..but don't know on the Permatex spray for the head gasket..
Valve covers gaskets and the like would be fine also.
