Yes if it's done right. the way I've always done it on a Chevrolet 350 is to spread the silicone around the area trying not to push it to close to the inside edges but still make a nice bead about a 1/4 - 1/2 inch tall and then set the distributor into taking care to make sure that you are properly aligned. now then the trick is not to tighten it down until you give it some time to set up. give it a while then torque it down. has worked for me every time. hope this helps you

HTV high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber three molding processes?

HTV high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber is a kind of silicone product, with excellent high and low-temperature resistance, ultraviolet resistance, radiation resistance, weather resistance, electrical insulation, high breathability, physiological inertia, low compression permanent deformation and fatigue resistance, etc. Therefore, HTV high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber is widely used in aviation, aerospace, electronics and electrical, light industry, machinery, construction, chemical industry, medicine, daily necessities, and other aspects, the following will give you a detailed explanation of the three high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber molding process. According to the types of high-temperature liquid silicone rubber on the market at present, one is solid silicone and the other is liquid silicone. The molding of solid silicone can be divided into molding and extrusion molding, and liquid silicone is mostly injection molding. Molding Molding is also called hot pressing, that is, in the high-temperature mold add (double 25 or double 24) a silicone platinum vulcanizing agent of the compound through the plate vulcanizing machine pressure, high-temperature vulcanization molding. The molding process is the production process of solid silica gel. The upper and lower two modules are combined, and a mold core is placed in the middle, so it is called the molding silicone rubber. The main production process of molded silicone rubber products is the processing process of silicone rubber products formed by heating and pressurizing the silicone rubber raw materials in the closed mold cavity. Usually, the silicone raw materials are evenly mixed into the mixing machine, and the mold is moved into the vulcanization molding machine. Then the closed mold pressure, molding and curing or vulcanization, and then the release of silica gel products, this process is suitable for thermosetting materials processing. The hardness of molded fumed silica gel is usually 30-70A (Shore hardness). In the process of rubber mixing products in the silica gel factory, the raw rubber is first added to the double roll rubber mixer or closed kneader. Gradually added white carbon black, silicone oil, and other additives repeatedly refining. According to the different fillers and additives, the performance of silica gel is also different. This process is relatively low cost, high yield, and widely used. It is used for monochrome silica gel products. It can also be used in two-color and two-hardness products or multi-color and multi-hardness products, but the structure of the product is not flexible, or limited. It can also be applied to plastic and metal packages, the same structure is not flexible, and the package has temperature requirements, the general requirement of the package to withstand 180 degrees Celsius without deformation. The shape of the injection molding process determines the shape of the molded silicone products. Molded silicone products are the most widely used in the silicone industry at present. Mainly used in the production of silicone industrial accessories, buttons, silicone gifts, silicone bracelets, silicone watches, key bags, mobile phone covers, silicone kitchenware, silicone mat, ice grid, cake mold, and so on.
