The stuff is actually a lot better than anything else I have used. Its expensive but when I use it its for some extremely demanding application. Example I use no gaskets on some of my race engines especially in the oil pan and timing cover area the Right stuff can take this abuse and seal everything nicely.

As posted,it is a very good sealer and not just a repackaged clone. Right Stuff, when used on clean dry parts (as it should be) is seriously strong. You may well have a difficult time getting some stuff back apart so be sure to keep that in mind.Not that it's impossible to remove, but it is very tenacious.

There is a reason it is called "the right stuff". It is in my opinion the best on the market.

The guys in my shop have used The Right Stuff for some time on all of my Diesel Trucks, Quality only hurts once!

I've been using it on my last couple engine rebuilds. It's a very good product I've had no leaks on any of them. I find it much better than RTV

I once had a customer with aftermarket v/c's on a sbc. Store-bought gaskets didn't fit, and leaked bad. I made the complete 'gasket' out of Right Stuff, it sealed perfectly, never leaked again. Very convincing experience.

Would this be a good product to use on head bolts/studs?

We used to use it on Chevy head bolts, or any other bolt/stud into water, works great! No seeping head bolts after we went to it.

We used it for header gaskets on roundy round car works great
It's the best stuff I've ever used a little bit pricey but will worth it

Is this the same stuff recomended for attaching new running board rubber to the metal running board?

I used it on a B.B. Chevy intake manifold at the block about five or six years ago no problems
