Hi,
I am working on a vintage Ford Model A from 1930. The engine is assembled using all types of gaskets, like
thin paper
thick paper
cork
copper asbestos sandwich
etc
I was wondering if I can replace all those gaskets with a liquid gasket from for instance Loctite. Is there a universal Loctite sealant that can replace all those gaskets materials 100% and still being safe? I have plenty of time for curing and dont need a traditional cut gasket which enables me to drive 5 min later.
One concern: A cut gasket has a certain thickness which might be of importance when assembling the the parts. When using a liquid sealant the parts come closer. How can one determine that the cut gasket IS necessary for proper function?
