I just got my head back from the shop for resurfacing and the guy there kept emphasizing to use the super gray silicone liquid gasket for some reason when i put everything back again for the parts that need silicone gasket...i called my brother and he said not to go that route and to use super gray and to use super blue instead because super blue was supposedly sensor safe. Does anyone know what kind of silicone gasket i should be using??

This doesn't make any sense. Re-word it so that we can understand you.

I think he meant ur writing is confusing... reread what he quoted, it's confusing.

Anyway, I use Dirko Silicone Gasket Maker, which is gray... so my vote is for super gray, haha:

Dirko RTV Silicone Gasket Maker

All my sensors are working fine.

I know what you meant (hence I answered...)

Who do you trust more, your brother or the mechanic rebuilding your engine?

Where are these gaskets going anyway? If it's like oil pan & water pump area (which are the two areas I used rtv gasket), then it straight up doesn't really matter about "sensor safe" bla bla bla.

Dirko is the way to go! At least everyone I talked w/ who uses it loves it.
