Re: IML: Rear-end sealant

["john sadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I've never used any of this stuff. Seems like a lot of newer cars are built 
with sealers instead of real gaskets. It may be just me, but it seems just 
putting a gasket in there would have been easier. With a liquid sealer, it 
seems as though you would have a tendency  to over tighten & squeeze most of 
the sealer out. Since its not under pressure, it may end up OK.
