Can I use RTV Silicon Gasket Maker as threadlock/threadsealant for spark plug tubes?
My 1993 toyota camry 4 cyl is leaking oil into spark plugs through the spark plug tube threads. I am planning to remove the spark plug tubes from the head and then reseal them
I have some Permatex silicon RTV (high temp ultra copper) Gasket Maker which I used during the valve cover gasket installation.
Can I use this stuff as a thread sealant for the spark plug tubes as well? or do I need to buy thread sealant such as Loctite Thread-lock?
note that, i am not trying to seal the spark plug....rather the "spark plug tube" which is threaded into the head. In this particular engine., the spark plugs are also threaded into the head...but the "spark plug tubes" act as insulators so that oils don't drip/leak into the spark plugs
the oil is leaking over the topside of the sparkplugs where the spark plug wires meet the spark plugs
the only way you would leak there is if your plugs were loose. you would have serious compression problems. it it more likely your valve covers are leaking and it just happens to be pooling in the depressions where your spark plugs are.
