[ukkid35]

Loctite 598 does not appear to be readily available any more. What do people use now instead?

Have you seen the delivery on that baby!!! Talk about circumventing fees!

I got some from eBay never put much thought into going halfords. Couldn't even get red rubber grease in there.

I feel I need some of this but I don't know why.

What is it used for? Sump gasket?

Elrings Dirko sump sealer or Wurth Super RTV a world away from bath silicone IMO ......... I use both

I sealed mine with the Loctite 5980, but had to get the sump removed for other work. It took Dan Taylor five minutes of jemmying and rubber hammering to get the sump pan off. Definitely avoid bath sealant!
