What to use to seal Cam Covers... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

The manual calls for Permabond A136, which is somewhat difficult to get ahold of.
Loctite "equivalent" is 518 but if you check the spec's it is not quite the same particularly in it's sealing thinkness.
Permatex has "High Temp Anaerobic Flange Sealant" that spec's very similar to the Loctite 518, but still has much less sealing thickness than A136.
There also Permatex 1B but it's not anaerobic, it's alcohol based.
What is everyone using here? Anybody use "The Right Stuff"?
