Sealant Compound Amv 174 004 01

[DougJones]

I am going to replace my injector loom, (the reasons for that are another story) but see that when replacing the camshaft cover you should place a drop of sealant on each of the bearing caps where they meet the cylinder head.

The correct sealant is AMV 174 004 01 @ £25-00. Does anyone know of an equivalent at a cheaper price and where it can be sourced from?

Only 4 drops approx 5mm dia are required!

Many thanks for any help.

AFAIK it's a low acid (non-acetic) silicone sealant, you should be able to get an equivalent from a good motor factor, e.g. Permatex Black.

Many thanks for that, is now on order.
