I've also heard people use Permatex High Tack.  is that similar to Hylomar?  Or Yamabond?

Hylomar was patented product by Rolls Royce jet engine division for metal to metal joints that were taken apart frequently.  Now that the patent has run out several companies sell the stuff.  Permatex calls it Permashield Gasket Dressing and Sealant.  Yamabond is hylomar also.  Google hylomar and a number of mfr show up.

It's fuel resistant also and I added some dressing to the fuel tank top seals.

Apply with an old tooth brush, it's runny out of the tube but gets tacky quickly and stays gummy.  It won't come off your fingers or gloves easily because no solvents work on it that i have found.  Get on your fingers any you'll wear it for a week.

2 stroke engines with split crankcases use the stuff with no gaskets.

A radiator shop is a good place to take a leak.

 

I have no idea what I'm doing but I know I'm really good at it.

Permatex High Tack dries but remains a little "tacky."  There's nothing wrong with this stuff.  It works great, as long as you follow the directions.  

 

Hylomar starts and stays gooey.  It's good stuff.  It's my go to for most sealing jobs.  What it won't do well is seal up a knackered surface like a bent up oil pan or other stamped steel part that's been abused over the years.  Great Stuff is a better candidate in those situations.

Jim,

I don't know how you'll feel about putting it on your skin, but acetone and a toothbrush will clean it off your hands.  The active ingredient in hylo-clean is just acetone.  Carb cleaner will also work, but again probably not good for your skin/innards.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
