The timing cover has a bunch of rubber seals that I am replacing (they were part of overhaul gasket set). Seems like some sealant or adhesive was used.

Does anyone know which one to use?

 

Thanks

Assuming you are talking about 85-89 engines, none are required Unless engine has gotten hot to melt and sag? Then you have to decide what you need to do to patch it up. I would use a none hardening type because you need to get them off to swap timiing belts. Sometimes a spot of wheel bearing grease will hold something in place during assy. MHO

The factory uses a spot of weather strip glue to hold them in place

3M weaterstrip glue works

Thanks. It is a 98 outback. I used some SEAL-ALL but it didn't hold - claims to hold moldings on car the way weather stripe would Dealership said they skip glue - it is has holders for the seals, so glue isn't really required to hold.

 

May be I will try weather stripe.
