I did suggest Permatex in a earlier posting...
That's weatherstrip adhesive..... It needs to be gas/oil/engine fluids compatible.
My old neighbor used to glue the VC gaskets to his 428CJ Talladega drag car with the yellow,,,, I HATED having to get that crap off the covers.I woudln't of used the weather strip glue on any engine part.

It will likely work.
Point was, they make actual contact cement style adhesive that is spec'd for the oils/fuel/fluids automotive engine & automotive component gaskets are used with. Hopefully it won't be a problem in your app, Worst case it doesn't work & you get to do it again but the 2nd round you're schooled & current on what to expect. The RTV silicone gasket maker stuff will be especially important where the seams are & where parts overlap as mentioned in that other forums shared posts.

Gotta use what is designed/formulated for the job. In my over 35 years of wrenching on cars I've never heard of any reason why to use a body adhesive in place of a engine adhesive. There is a better item to hold gaskets in place.

Ive used gasgacinch for lots of things repairing motorcycle stuff and it works well to hold stuff and is easy to remove when needed as well....

I can dig that, but these guys have been screwing around with cars for decades as well and it's worked for them on a number of occassions... I consider and research all advice given to me, and figure out which works best for me...Gotta use what is designed/formulated for the job.

I'm more than likely on a budget at most times, so I can't always afford the things you guys mention. And when other reputable guys give me working and cheaper alternatives, that's what I go for...
Like scoti said, if it doesn't work, at least I can go back and do it again...
