Engine Rebuild Materials |
| Using the proper materials is vital to leak-free engine. While there are many different combinations of materials that you can use, Wayne recommends the ones listed here. They have proven themselves to be worthy enough to stand the test of time, and provide years of leak-free service. |
|
| Loctite 574 Case Sealant |
| The Loctite 574 sealant is an orange gooey sealant that cures in the absence of air. When you assemble your case and mate the case halves, you will have some squeeze-out that will collect at the case halves. If you leave this excess sealant exposed to the air, you will find that it will not harden. While this may cause you some head scratching, you shouldnt be concerned, as the sealant is designed to seal within tight clearances, and between metal surfaces. Despite the fact that it appears that the Loctite 574 is not curing because the squeeze-out has not hardened, it has in fact properly sealed between your two case halves. |

| Liqui Moly Anti-Seize Compound |
Anti-seize compound is used to help prevent galling of steel studs under extreme heat conditions. Studs that are particularly vulnerable to galling are the exhaust and head studs. I recommend using anti-seize on your head studs and exhaust studs during the rebuild process.
It is important to note that Porsche doesnt recommend the use of anti-seize compound on spark plugs, as detailed in Porsche Technical Bulletin 9102, Group 2, identifier 2870. The bulletin applies retroactively to all Porsche models and the theory is that the anti-seize tends to act as an electrical insulator between the plug and the cylinder head. This could have detrimental effect on the firing of the spark due to the loss of a good, consistent ground connection. |
