 Soon
we will have cooler weather and it will be time
to attend to our cars, taking care of minor problems
that have irritated us while on the road. I was
looking for a proper sealant for a gasket.
The twisted and dried out tube used over the past
many years got tossed in the trash and I went
on the internet to find out what is available.
It is always wise to do an internet search for
the right product to solve your particular problem
before you go to the nearest auto parts store
and accept whatever they have.
With the varied composition of
gaskets available on the market today, it is important
that you use the proper sealant to ensure the
gasket's seal effectively and not adversely affect
the gasket's longevity. In many cases, using the
correct sealant will actually extend the life
of the gasket because it offers protection from
engine heat as well as resistance to corrosive
chemicals found in oils, fuels and other fluids
that can cause the gasket to deteriorate over
time.
A quick expedition on the Internet
pointed me to literally thousands of sealants
available today. Read
this article to know more about a few of
the basic groups of sealants you should have while
tackling an engine, transmission, differential
or minor repair.
I would like to thank the

| Colorado
Grand, 2013 |
| Diary by Kurt Furger |
|
|
"After the heavy rains and flooding
we started the Colorado Grand today driving from Conifer
to Vail where everybody is gathering. Derek MacNeil
is my trusted co driver again, his second Grand. Leaving
Conifer I turned over the steering wheel to him to get
his brain adjusted to the Bentley gearbox. After about
45 minutes he found all the gears without brushing the
teeth, he even managed to shift from 4th straight into
1st. We stopped for coffee and I could relax. There
is still a bit of monsoon moisture left in the atmosphere,
so we had a couple of sprinkles, but we should be basically
dry for the rest of the week..."
