   Just wondering what sealant people use for Cam ladders and Cam covers, how much do you pay and where do you get it from?

   we use rhodorseal on all our engines. oil and fuel resistant. and dries like a rubber gasket. so easily peels off when you want to reseal something.
   
   we can supply small tubes of it.

   Nothing on the covers? How do you work that out?
   I use Loctite 5910 Black sealant and never had any problems.

   OP have you tried some hylomar? Always found that to be decent stuff when sealing up K-series heads etc

    the have seals on them, therefore don't need sealant
    
    if they leak, fit new seals.
