Genuine gaskets - what gaskets - looked to me he just used a gallon of red Hermatite.  Suprised he didn't use it to seal plenum to inlet manifold :o

Pity anyone who buys that vehicle!

That is trully horrendous  :o and reassures me what a good job I made this morning replacing both my camcover gaskets.

Think I used less than 1/4 tube of the "correct black" GM sealant..he must have spent more in hermatite than he would have buying proper gaskets. ;D

All that lovely silicon gasket cement to break off over time and line the oilways and sump filter.  ::) :-[ Still, cheaper to buy and fit a new engine, then spend money on proper gaskets.  :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D

Reminds me of Normandy motorcycles and red Hematite after they had finished building a british bike engine, where they used to apply it liberally, I think with a 6" paintbrush.  :o :o :o :o
