<VV> oil pan gasket?

[J R Read]

Hey Jeff,

How thick are you putting that on?  And, if thick, how do you know it is not 
squeezing out toward the inside of the block where a bit of it could 
potentially break off and plug an oil galley or two?

Later, JR

I haven't used oil pan or valve cover gaskets since the late 60's. Just RTV.
Greatest invention since the wheel. Can't remember ever having a problem.
The key is having both surfaces clean primarily of oil and letting it set 
before
filling with oil or running the motor. I usually wait 24 hours but overnight
should be enough. Also great for trans and diff covers or any non gas or 
high
pressure seal.
