    Liquid-moly engine oil resealer

    G'day legends,

    If anyone has any experience with using engine oil gasket resealer and can release some wisdom in regards to:

    Pros,

    Cons,

    And in particular the liquid-moly engine oil resealer, it would be kindly appreciated.

    I have the rd28eti in a 98gu, about 280k on odo.
    Even though you wouldn't know it by checking the dip stik she leaves the occasional spot on the driveway. And it's a little messy on the underside (I know I make a little mess when I change the filter). Oil and filter get changed every 5k +-.

    I have found that a new sump gasket is about $100 and rocker cover gasket $75!!!! And a tin of resealer is about $16-20.

    Will the resealer work if the leak is only slight?

    I apologise in advance if this subject has been done to death already. Please, no liquid-Molly reps.

    Cheers.

    I have no experience with any re-sealer mate. But in my opinion if it clogs up your gaskets what else is it clogging up???
    Cheers

    Doesn't work by clogging gaskets, it works by causing them to expand.

    I have used many liqui-moly products, and would highly recommend them.
    I'm guessing you are referring to his one?

    I also would suggest rislone products as I had used them in my old range rover (when I couldn't get liqui-moly).
    There's a couple of different ones.

    Have used the first one in my 4.5 GU with no issues.
