  1. Silicone RTV “instant gasket” is (very) old tech. The anaerobic gasket replacements such as Loctite 518 are far better and they cure only when air is excluded. Any excess will not create lumps that can clog oil galleries and it separates like a normal gasket.

  2. Sandy call out poor deign and implementation for what it is. If that’s rude then perhaps it’s what’s need to get the providers to improve their product. I have never seen him aggressive or rude to people. He’s direct but he’s not disrespectful.

  3. This is why I’ve always liked Fiat cars. Their original designs were well considered but over the years have evolved. Thing that need to change are updated but those that work fine stay the same. e.g. Rear wheel spindles and hub-bearings have not really changed since 1970s. They’ve not needed to change. The design is in-house but suppliers (SKF, Magneti Marelli, etc) build to the detail spec.
