[Vwdiesel] 1600 Head Bolts & Water pump sealer

[Erik Lane]

I use Aviation sealer from Napa on most anything that could possibly
leak. It's this brown, almost black stuff that is SUPER good. It is
proof against gas, oil, diesel, and a bunch of other stuff. I've never
seen something leak once I seal it with that stuff. Comes in a squat
little white bottle and costs $6-8 or so. I'm not sure cause one
bottle lasts and lasts. It takes me quite a few years to use it up.
