I have a 2000 Chevy s10 LS 4.3liter V6. Can I use this to patch up an oil pan leak? 6 dollars and 29 cents versus a 1300 mechanic job.

You can try, but it probably won't last long. Just squeezing this on as-is won't do much good. To use it properly you'd have to drain the oil, drop the oil pan, clean off the old gasket and clean the mating surfaces, then use this to create a new gasket, let it set, and fill it back up with new oil. Done this way it'd work great. There's a reason the mechanic wants $1300, and it's not the parts - it's the day of labor taking it apart and putting it back together.

Yes, this should work but you will need to remove the pan to apply to the gasket. If you are going to do that, then replace the gasket as well.

Its perfect for oil pans but be sure to clean thoroughly and then degrease a couple of times with a solvent. Just like any other RTV, it can't stick in the first place if its still oily.

If it is the pan I would say no. Need to use something like JB Weld. If its the gasket maybe, but only after cleaning off all the oil first.

Should work well for you. See my review from an earlier purchase. I am on my second oil change with this product. The only thing that might be better in some respects are some of the new "AA" series LM oils.

Yes. If anything it is an improvement. Though for the price you would be better served looking at another oil as $14 a quart is absurd. Any synthetic SAE 5w-30 motor oil will do the job admirably and the going rate is $5-8 a quart. I'm a mobil 1 guy but even royal purple (supposedly the top of the line) is going for $7.86.

I thought the same thing, but, I used it and it solved the oil leaking problem. I run the mixer once a week since (if not used) and so far so good.

try it in a car and boat, run engine so oil was warm, it got primed and pump about a qt. or more very slow and stop pumping, maybe alright for a lawnmower. I think it is junk for a little more money you can get one that works good, If you still need this one I will sell my for 1/2 price only used three time.

Probably not, the L108 uses a 1 cylinder engine, this fuel pump fits a 20 HP 2 cylinder v-twin. Enter your model number at www.briggsandstratton.com and you can look at the parts diagram for your engine to find the right part number for your fuel pump. Fuel pumps don't normally leak oil, you might want to have a repair shop take a look if you're not familiar with small engine repair. These pumps are vacuum actuated so if they're leaking oil then the engine is probably throwing off too much oil from some other problem.

From what I recall having read on the package is that this is a liquid gasket. However, the label suggest that it not be used for parts such as trans and oil pans.

I would suck it out and get rid of it. The product will likely stop your head gasket leak for a short time, but will cause much more damage to your engine in the long run. Therefore, unless you only want to run your car for a few more thousand miles then junk it, I would not use the product at all. That's my opinion.

You would need a totally different tool this is just for measuring air leakage in cylinders and heads. You would need an oil pressure test gauge

Do not have the device with me, but used it on a 40 hp Yanmar diesel and it fit well into my dip stick. I did seal it off for better suction. It exceeded my expectations. Took 15 - 20 min to change out 6qts of oil. the output is thicker. only problem i had was that the coupling to the intake and output need to be adjusted a bit to stop leakage.

I don't know what the right oil to use is but I used heavy duty gear oil. Mine leaks too but I don't use it enough to worry about. For the price, I'm quite happy with it.

If you are going to flush ALL the fluid out of the transmission maybe not. If its just drain whats in the pan and the filter, yes its enough

I used the OEM, but it was a new one from the dealer...just because I didn't want to have to take a chance on a leak. The pan really help me alot with the temp.

Yes. I use a piece of 3/8 fuel line to drain my oil. Some folks use a clear plastic hose instead, but any 3/8 hose will work. Love mine!!

I'd say the pan shift kit is a more serious option. If you plan on racing or doing some heavy duty towing go with the "pan" but for an everyday driver try the electronic shift kit. I put one in a 94 Chevy pickup and I was able to switch from stock to tow to race on the fly. I still own that old truck and I leave it on "tow" 99% of the time. It was fairly easy to install and you can change how firmly the shift from the driver's seat.

No, I used it to seal a differential housing and the oil ate right thru! The stuff goes on as thin as water, it's useless, don't waste your money on this product.

I repaired a wet washer fluid reservoir, and refilled the tank five minutes after the bond set, it has not leaked since. I believe it would cure and withstand relatively well. Also, the key portion of an ignition key/key fob combo broke off for my Ram. I glued the key insert back into the FOB and have used it to start the truck numerous times every day, so it withstands torque very well.
