The last person to see this clutch basket was some Japanese guy over 40 years ago.

Way better than the opposite; seeing that red “gasket” shit all around the side of the engine. That’s how you know you’re in for a fun day.

Yep. Looking forward to that on the 350 in my old GMC. Guy even put it all over the valve covers on that engine.

Using that stuff should be a punishable offense.

It’s always nice to be the first one to dig in there.

I’ve been building engines privately + professionally for over 35 years. I still say things like that myself whenever I’m into something old. Currently I’m building a ‘51 Desoto flathead 6 cylinder. I just got the rod bearings-original packaging dated 10-44.

Wait, do you mean sealant, or the ‘make your own shitty gasket with crap spooged into the engine compartment becaause you are too cheap to spend $20 for the correct gasket’?
I mean both sort of suck for cleaning up...

I don’t know what the exact name is. It’s this red paste that is meant to be applied on the gasket surface and used to seal crankcases and such. I got some on my work hoodie back in 2006 and it’s still there today.

I feel your pain. I think that’s the high temp gasket maker. That stuff ruins whatever shirt I am wearing on the rare occasions I have to use it. Always. Somehow a little dot of it always jumps to my clothes.
It seeps into pores and never comes out. I hate that stuff, but still it has to be used at some points.
