As far as I understand silicone is fine for everything except direct contact with gas, regardless I've used silicone on a 350 rocker cover with no problems before and it was RTV Silicone. I just found the old tube and the specs are, resists aging, temp range is -50C to 205C water, oil, grease and vibration. Jeff, RTV Silicone for your valve cover will be as sweet as Nanas nuts or I am a Polaris fan.

Cheers Mike.

Sorry Jeff, my Kiwi slang is getting the better of me again. That roughly means in the old days, "my Grandma grows the best fruit, veggies and nuts known to man". Used in language today translates to, it will be fine".

So RTV Silicone would be OK to use on your valve cover.

Any sealants you use that is in contact with gas including intake manifold areas and motor oil for that matter should be Oxygen sensor safe. Problem is that when certain chemicals in the other sealants burn, the residule can greatly shorten the life of your Oxygen sensors. Oxygen sensor safe sealants will say that on the front of the tube. Darn and I really liked that Permatex Motorcycle sealant too.

      As with any forum you join, there is a requirement for an obligatory introduction... and that seems fair. How else do you get that first post in there without jumping in with some stupid question right out of nowhere?

      Hi. I'm Space Ghost. Well, not really, but that was my call sign on my last deployment before an IED made me non-deployable, and I an now retired/disabled, and living on my wonderful VA disability. I did almost 28 years in total between the Army, Army Reserve, and National Guard. 1 deployment with the Reserve (Desert Storm) and 3 with the Guard (1 pre, and 2 post 9/11)

      Married (going on 30 years) one of each. (both out of the nest)
       
      Just picked up my first side by side a couple days ago. A 2020 Can-Am Defender HD10 DPS 6x6. 

       
      It's in pretty good shape, but as you can probably tell, it's sitting a bit high. Former owner put a lifting collar on the shocks. 

       
      The good = almost 17" of ground clearance. (30" tires) 
      The bad = incredibly steep driveline angles, and a pretty stiff ride. 
       
      They will be coming off. 
       
      Other than that... clean as a pin and appears very well maintained. 
       
      Looking forward to seeing what this forum can bring, and hoping I can bring something in return.

But as anything outside and 18 years old it needs seats ! The thing I have found wrong mechically the Diff. Lock Acturtor is broken where it mounts to the bracket ( partly why Im here ) . Hoping someone here can help  !

      Hello All...
           Just bought a 2014 Massimo 500 UTV.  It;s not running at the moment, but hopefully will soon.  I need a seat for it also (passenger side, if it makes any difference.)  It is a crank-but no start situation.  Just now starting to read the boards for solutions.  Apparently these models are well known for this issue.  If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to chime in, it would be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks

      Need Rear Diff for Arctic Cat 1000X UTV
      By GaryC
      Unfortunately my rear Diff housing cracked on my 2013 and I need to replace it or find a good used complete differential.  I think the same one was used from 2013-2016?  Any help or referrals appreciated.  Thanks, Gary  (949)370-2575 (in UT)
