Re: oil pan gasket

They use an expensive goo, not a gasket.

RTV is your friend.

Re: oil pan gasket

Factory says use RTV. I believe you can get a paper gasket if you want to buy topline...

Re: oil pan gasket

Just use some quality RTV. Make sure the whole pan is level, and don't overtighten the bolts.

Yea, do you have a torque wrench?

Re: oil pan gasket

It's 60 inch pounds. Similar to the valve cover bolts. Basically just passed finger tight if you're wrench less.

Re: oil pan gasket

^are you talking about the oil plug? Because I was told before that you should make sure that bolt is nice and tight.

I believe he was talking about the bolts that go around the oil pan. If you over tighten them you risk either stripping them out, or pushing all the RTV out and causing a leak.

Re: oil pan gasket

Gotcha, anybody know how tight the oil drain plug should be? I'd guess about the same???
