No Reverse and bad noises...

I think I did it wrong to begin with. I layed it on and tightened it up right away instead of letting it set for a half hour. Silly me.


Thanks for all the help guys.

No no your fine, just let it set up for at least 24 hours, you will be good.

Just to make it a little more clear, put it on the pan or block, whichever works best for you, a thin layer will work fine as long as there are no breaks in it. Then install the pan right away, don't let it cure before you put it on. Then wait for it to fully cure before adding oil and running the engine.

That's what I did and it still leaked. I put oil in it maybe a day or two later. I'm going to try letting it dry a bit first so it's more solid before I torque it. To me it makes more sense that way because you're letting it harden up a bit so when you do torque it, it will seal up better instead of just squeezing out the sides.

What is it, 6-7 ft lbs. is what I torqued it down to last time, starting at the opposite corners and criss crossing.
