Default liquid sealant
Should you use the Volvo sealant for the oil pan and cam cover, or are the ones from FCP & IPD fine

I think they would be fine, they wouldn't sell them unless they worked. Besides, IPD knows their stuff. That's the stuff I was going to get when I was going to do a rebuild.

Avoid Curil K2. It may work in some applications but it didn't work no the pan on my son's 850 when we resealed his pan.
