Hi All,

This is regarding a 117.968 560 engine:

What kind of "sealing compound"is best to use on the front timing cover and on the end cover? The manual only says "sealing compound". I had bad luck before with just using silicone. What is recommended?

Also, the upper oil pan to engine block gasket. The manual does not mention a sealing compound there. What would be though safe to use?

Thanks,

Greg
