A new silicone rubber formed-in-place gasketing concept has been developed which has greatly reduced the incidence of warranty oil leaks in engine and drive train components. This concept utilizes a combination of joint configuration and unique cured properties of the silicone formed-in-place gasketing material to achieve leak-free performance over the life of the component.
