Yes I've used it. Repco sell it if you can actually find someone old enough that knows what it is. You'll need to know what colour you need.

Any good auto store should have it, usually have to ask for it. Different colours for different clearances so check the clearance you are checking and get the appropriate one(s). You usually need a couple of different ones if you are doing a full engine rebuild.
