Hylomar is like a gasket maker but it never fully hardens. Most people use it on there intake manifolds. It will seal very well but if you unbolt the part you can just lift it right off without a struggle or needing to scape it off, you can more or less wipe it off and apply new.

I got mine at advanced auto parts

Lightnen See you are down south of me just a few miles. Ya get up this way (The Colony) Dallas area give a yell and we can meet up. As for the AIS just reuse the gaskets when you put the caps on you shouldn't need to use the Hylomar.

The gaskets on your 07 are reusable so you shouldn't need Hylomar. But if you want to use it there is no harm. You can get it at a Napa auto parts. "Balkamp #85249" also it is a Permatex product with the same #85249 at Advance auto parts. Its good stuff to have around the shop never know when you might need it.

The gaskets on my '09 were simply very thin metal gaskets, I reused them as I believe the instructions said that came with the block off kit.

However, I had never heard of Hylomar and it sounds as though it would be a valuable thing to have in my tool box for other purposes from the description that Smokescreens gave.
So...I am going to try to remember to see if they have any at NAPA today.

That is what I like about this forum, so many are willing to share their knowledge.

Hylomar is impervious to fuel so it is good to use on the petcock, fuel level sensor, and intake manifold. Most buy it to help seal the intake.
