Ok ladies and gentlemen I want to see what everyone has to say (and a little roast).
Last month I replaced the timing belt on my 05 4.7 V7. I got a kit from Rock Auto (mistake but that’s another story) with the belt, water pump pulleys etc. During reassembly of the thermostat housing there is a gasket and says to use Toyota Seal Packing 103 (FIPG). I had some Permitex Right Stuff and planned to use that. Well dummy me it was all dried up. Then I saw I had some Permitex blue RTV so I used that.
The other day I popped the hood and saw coolant sitting in the valley. Upon further research I found out the blue RTV won’t withstand the heat and/or coolant and breaks down (learn something new everyday).
What does everyone think of Toyota’s 103 FIPG “Toyota glue” vs Permatex Right stuff, Permatex Ultra Grey or ????
