If you put a fitting into the jpipe use Teflon tape around the fitting maybe seal it with a small amount of rtv.

BOV just use a paper gasket and spray it with copper spray.

the fitting is sealed up.. i need to know what to use for bolting the jpipe back on.. where can i get copper spray? home depot im guessing?

and also, what sealant do i use for replacing valve cover?

Permatex Ultra grey from any auto parts store. I usually use an OEM gasket with ultra grey on both sides.

sweet thanks guys

You are welcome. Just to clarify, I use the ultra grey for the j-pipe and the valve cover in addition to the gaskets.

Copper spray is stuff you get at Advanced Auto/ Autozone / Napa / Oreilly's etc. It should be near the the gasket maker stuff. I prefer it to rtv because RTV smells bad, is quit frustrating to work with, and to much rtv can #### things up in the long run.

Copper Seal, or Copper Spray, etc its made by Permatex. It comes in a short spray can. Just ask the guy at the counter for some permatex copper gasket sealer spray. I bought a can 6.99$ and it was enough to do my whole engine. Every gasket but the valve cover gasket. I also did several 3 inch exhaust gaskets and several header gaskets, as well as a downpipe and 02 housing before hand so the can will last you a long time. Its great stuff and is heat resistant, and oil/gas/water/coolant resistant. But it wipes off easily with a solvent like brake cleaner. Much less of a headache than RTV Silicone.

Also if your gonna use rtv. Get a small scrapper Approx 2" and max sure that the coat is very thin and even across the gasket, other wise you will run into squeeze out, where the rtv squeezes into air, water, and oil passages as well as bolt holes. Really quite messy and frustrating.

The copper spray can be a B**** to clean off when you need to remove it later on since its more of a glue spray
