The only sealant that said sensor safe was silicone RTV Blue (something to that nature) but it didn't say silicone sealant , it said "gasket maker." I saw on the tech section that the guy uses "door and window" sealant (saw some at walmart). Would this be better to get? Is "gasket maker" the same? Please give me some help.

Its primary use is for O2 sensors. I am not really sure how sealant can mess up the MAF, Can someone explain what happens, along with characteristics?   Blake Luse (Muddyrover) Senior Member Username: Muddyrover Post Number: 950 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 03, 2004 - 11:00 pm:    this is a link to what I have. http://www.discount-auto-parts.ws/parts/permatex-sensor-safe-ultra-black-rtv-sil icone-gasket-maker-3-oz.php   Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) Senior Member Username: Deanbrown3d Post Number: 1221 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 03, 2004 - 11:02 pm:    I used home depot regular silicone II.   Axel Haakonsen (Axel) Moderator Username: Axel Post Number: 695 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Saturday, January 03, 2004 - 11:27 pm:    Permatex Ultra Black is sensor safe. Most autopart stores carry it. - Axel   Aaron Richardet (Draaronr) Senior Member Username: Draaronr Post Number: 360 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 04, 2004 - 11:00 am:    thats exactly what I used Blake
