Ian.. I just did oil pan and timing cover.. and based on what I
percieved to be the majority opinion when I asked the question... a
little grease on the gasket... no leaks yet.. but I've only done about a
hundred miles since...

| OK folks. As I get ready to bolt the engine together I was wondering what the thoughts were on the use of gasket sealant. Some say not to use it at all. Others say to use it to secure the gasket to one part and not on the other. I know that you do not use sealant on the heads but what about parts like the rear bearing? By the way I know that the lower two bolt holes need to be sealed on the rear bearing. What about oil pan and timing cover? Just curious what the consensus is. ...Ian |
