David Permatex is an old name, been around for years. There two original sealers that my Dad used and I still use are #2 in a tube which is a paste and #1 aviation in a can with a brush cap, more liquid. Google them for info. I was a professional auto mechanic for years and learned to use all the modern sealers etc. Silicons, anaerobic, locktite, etc., they all have there place. When It comes to tractors and heavy trucks it's a different story. Silicones and Teflons seal, but also lubricate, and Ive had these products in time and under severe pressure let gaskets work out of a joint or two castings, under conditions like that a sticky sealer that sets up is needed that will hold that gasket in place under pressure or vibration. Permatex is the one for that job, it's sticky, gooey, and stinky, you can't get it off your fingers without using lacquer thinner, I also use it for installing oil seals, they will never blow out. It is still available at NAPA, I just bought a tube last fall. I have been burnt too many times using modern sealers on old tractors, the gaskets will be ruined on disassemble though. this is what works for me. Good luck on you shoulder surgery, mine are bad also, been for years but I'm not ready to take that big step yet, I don't like Doctors gettin close to me with cutlery!
