I have a stihl br600 backpack blower and doing a complete engine rebuild, sthil reconmends dirko ht, should i use the red or gray?

When I used to rebuild Porsche 911 engines in the '80s we always used Dirko Grey between the case halves. I never had a comeback. But, use it Sparingly! squeeze it on then wipe it off with your finger. Only leaving the thinnest layer on each surface.

What is the cure time before adding oil if using as oil pan sealant?

apply to oil pan, wait 5-10 minutes then install oil pan and torque to spec. Then wait 12 hours before adding oil for a leak-proof seal. Trust me, wait before adding the oil.

What is the maximum temperature service limit?

The service temperature is between -50 C and +180 C

This is the replacement gasket for you

Used this to replace the valve cover "gasket" on my 2010 VW EOS 2.0t TSI motor and it worked fantastic. The set time was quick. Easy to work with. Get this the first time so you don't have to redo what you've already taken apart, like me!

Easy to use. Confidence with no leaks.

I use this for sealing everything. From transfer cases, to upper oil pans. Its never let me down. I use on audi, I ise on jeep. Comparable to mopar or Honda bond.

Only sealant we use on mk4 jetta

Vehicle: VW mk4 Jetta. This is the only sealant I used. If used proplerly, you shouldn't have any problems. If you shop around, you may find it at a lower price with shipping. We needed it fast, Amazon to the rescue.

works on Stihl Chainsaws

Had an air leak on a Stihl chainsaw where the cylinder base bolts to bottom pan of cylinder. My Stihl dealer did not have the Red Dirko in stock. I tried sealing it 2 times with 3 bond and could not get it to seal. First attempt with Dirko gray and wala air leak is sealed
