Hello, I'm going to use this to seal the muffler to my new engine. I do not plan on putting that little paper gasket. Does anyone have any positive or negative experiences with Aluminum Pain used this way ?

""This Aluminum high temperature paint is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1400°F, POR-20® is also extremely weather, salt and moisture resistant. Helps prevent cracking, chipping, and peeling. Can be brushed or sprayed. ""

Thanks for any input.

It will probably work o.k. I have used it on (full scale ) car exhaust manifolds with good results.

For model airplane mufflers though, I usually use Hi Temp. red silicone (RTV )

Why don't ya try that POR-20 and tell us how it works?

Hi!
What kind of engine do you have that need a sealent ????
Al modern engines I know of are perfectly tight engine to exhaust without using silicon or any other sealant.

It's just a O.S. .40 LA. I just wanted to prevent leakage 100 %

The LA40 will loose considerable fuel out the venturi and the front bearing area. It might be a waste of time if you want to keep a neat engine?

Enjoy,
