In the past there has been mention about Ford gasket adhesive but I can't seem to find it with the search. Does anyone know the number?

Ford no longer services their "white" contact gasket adhesive; I now use Edelbrock "gaskacinch" contact cement or Wellwood contact cement from the corner hardware store.

The TA--Ford stuff is a "RTV type" product.

I've never used the TA30.

I use the yellow weatherstrip adhesive at work and at the house on my own stuff if I need to "tack" something in place. TA31 would take forever to set up.

So do you just use the contact cement to hold the gasket in place?

Really the only place I use silicone is the intake end seals, oil pan and around the intake coolant ports.

Should I use something else?

Well what a CF that turned into. I was at Ford this morning so that is what prompted this thread. They only had TS30 but another dealership had the TS31. I drive to another town to pick it up and they can't sell it to me for an hour till their cashier gets back. I was like " WTF"? i drove here for nothing. So I will just use what I normally use. Thanks for the help.

Randy,

Is the Edelbrock "gaskacinch" similar to the "Right Stuff" by permatex ?

I don't know, I've never used the "Right Stuff".
The Edelbrock "Gaskacinch" is a lot like the Wellwood contact cement except at 3 times the cost.

Coat the gasket and the metal part surface where it is going to be used with a very thin application, wait for them to surface dry and put 'em together.
Put 'em in the right place the FIRST time 'cause the gaskets won't move after being joined.
