I never use a pan gasket either. Just a nice even coat of ultra grey, let it set up for about 5 or 10 mins, and torque to spec. No leaks, no worries

I'm reading more and more about people not using an oil pan gasket. Apparently they suck... I'll look into using just RTV. Thanks for the tips.

Ultra black FTW.

I used a gasket plus black rtv on both sides. It is pretty much unecessary to use a gasket, like everyone says.

I used grey. Oil pan is on.

Factory didn't use one, for a reason.

Just picked up a Non-Cruise cable, headgasket, and new injector seals from Brookdale on Saturday. I had to contemplate it for awhile because I'm trying to keep as many creature comforts as I can. But decided I just don't use the Cruise Control enough for me to keep it, and eliminating it will clean up the engine bay a bit. So CC is going away.

If anyone needs a CC setup from a 91, I'll have mine for sale shortly!

Got the CC setup out, and the Non-Cruise cable in.

Also went ahead and removed the Windshield Washer reservoir and hosing since the CF hood I have doesn't have provisions for the squirters. Plus the car doesn't really need them anyways considering it rarely even sees rain.
