Review: Not sure what is up with the toothpaste tubes but the caps all brake now. They also always get holes in them and dry out. Tired of messing with that so got these cans. One came with a broke nozzle but it is still useable. pretty easy to use and less mess than the toothpaste tubes. Review: I recently used the Permatex 27038 Optimum Red RTV Silicone to install my intake manifold, and I’m incredibly impressed with its performance! This silicone sealant was very simple to use, applying smoothly and evenly without any mess. It formed a strong, reliable seal that held up perfectly under high temperatures and pressure, ensuring my intake manifold installation was rock-solid. The product lived up to its promises, providing excellent adhesion and durability. I highly recommend this RTV silicone for any automotive sealing needs! ## Features - Maximum temperature performance - OEM Specified, Sensor-safe, low odor, non-corrosive - Non-flammable, non-toxic - Can be used as a gasket maker or dressing and meets performance specs of OE silicone gaskets - Top Job Applications: Header, manifold, slip-fit exhaust parts, turbocharge and withstands up to 750°F (399°C) intermittent ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08CRYCZ91 | | Best Sellers Rank | #37,598 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #163 in Automotive Fillers, Adhesives & Sealants | | Brand Name | Permatex | | Color | Optimum Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (431) | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Included Components | Optimum Red High Temperature Gasket Maker | | Item Thickness | 0.2 Inches | | Item Type Name | Permatex Optimum Red High Temperature Gasket Maker 3.35 oz | | Manufacturer | Permatex | | Material Type | Silicone | | UPC | 686226987631 686226270382 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 750 Degrees Fahrenheit | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Permatex - **Colour:** Optimum Red - **Item thickness:** 0.2 Inches - **Material:** Silicone - **Upper temperature rating:** 750 Degrees Fahrenheit ## Images ![Permatex 27038 Optimum Red High Temperature Gasket Maker 3.35 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813a9mGj4BL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***B on 15 August 2021* Not sure what is up with the toothpaste tubes but the caps all brake now.
