RTV for engine block?

Hey what's the grey RTV that is used when putting the crank cover on? I see people saying it's silicone or don't use silicone ect. I want to make sure I do this right the first time.

Hondabond HT. Follow the service manual. Typically only applied to certain areas of the gaskets or mating faces, hard corners for example.

No problem. Permatex Ultra Grey is basically the same thing if you're not near a dealership.

There is actually several different Hondabonds that Honda uses or has used.

If you are particular or would like to know more, this thread may be of service:
