Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket

[lippy]

Anyone ever use it, and if so, for what?

I've been thinking through my upcoming oil pan installation. An FE with a windage tray and two gaskets. I will use Permatex Gasket Cement to glue the gaskets to the windage tray, and then use something else between the pan and the tray, and the tray and the block.

I was going to use The Right Stuff as the "something else." Problem is, it sets up fast, maybe 5-7 minutes. In that time, I have to put a thin coat on two large gasket surfaces, clean the excess out of the bolt holes, put the windage tray up, bolt the oil pickup tube to the pump, raise the pan on to the studs, and get the nuts on and at least snug them, before I go around and tighten them. I'm pretty quick - especially with the studs - but there's no way I can do it that fast.

Not sure what the setup time of TA-31 is, but I *think* it's short as well. Could this Aviation stuff be an option? One of the selling points is slow set-up time, and it is oil and gas resistant. Some guy on another forum even said it sealed up the engine on his British car and it doesn't leak. If that's not intriguing, I don't know what is.

Any experience with this stuff would be helpful. Thanks!
