I'm having a hard time finding any Loctite 515, as specified in the TCM 

SIL99-2B document to seal my crankcase halves (A-65).  Since this is 

going in a Pietenpol, I guess I don't have to use exactly what they 

specify, but I was wondering what others have used with success, besides 

the Permatex #3 Aviation/Loctite 515/silk thread to seal their crankcase 

halves.

Ben,



Loctite also owns Permatex so there are a few things you can use. For 

direct cross loctite 515 to Permatex's version 51531.



I like using the 518  (Permatex  51813) as it is slightly thicker and 

compensates for older cases that someone used a screwdriver to separate 

and heat induced case pucker between bolt holes.



Use the silk thread as well and the materials sparingly.



Since motorcycles and boat motors are assembled in similar fashion, 

they all have their own "brands" as well, but I have been using the 518 

successfully for many years.



Another manufacturer is Hernon and they should have a cross reference 

sheet. they may be harder to come by.



A Google search will turn up supply houses for any of the above.



Good Luck on your project.



Ed

do not archive



Hey Ben:



Here's a place to order if you want it:

We've used it lately on a O-200 and a C-145.  No oil leaks and we were 

advised to skip the silk thread which we did.  Also used it to seal the 

flange of a E-185 scavange oil pump against the accessory case.  Haven't 

test run yet, but we're hoping for good news.



Best Regards,



Randy, Las Vegas
