Well, I can tell you for a fact, I didn't use enough goop!

I'd already pulled the oil pan once to weld in a bung for the turbo oil line. In hindsight, I should have put a new rear main seal in there then. Now I have the oil pan off a second time, and I'm not looking forward to dealing with those four separate gaskets all having to stay in place. Are there any one-piece gasket options? All I've been able to find are the Mahle / Fel Pro sets with cork side gaskets and rubber front / rear gaskets. |

The "Real Gaskets" guy from Tennessee has some kind of silicone oilpan gasket, but not one piece, I think. Maybe just the side rails in silicone? Hard to make a one piece one with this design... I use "The Right Stuff" gasket sealer on all surfaces and make sure to carefully pull the nubs through the pan (rear piece) and timing cover (front piece) with a needle nose pliers. If careful, you can do it w/o leaks. I get everything ready to go, make sure the pan and TC are straight, and then go for it (15 min of gooping/smoothing/sweating) to get it all bolted snug before the sealer dries. This has worked well for me for many pan jobs. Lou |

The real gaskets... I tried them. Silicone side rails. Stock type front and rear gaskets near rear main and under timing cover. I bumped mine with a bit of solvent or thinner on tear down and it changed size. Went back to a regular 4 piece gasket. Just goop it correctly and it will be okay. I use black rtv and some time let it set for an hour before i tighten.. keeps some of the goop put and prevents squeezeout/ slide around. Greg |

You could try the Right Stuff gasket goo-goo.... |

Got the pan back on, RTV needs to dry. Let's hope the oil stays inside this time... |

Unfortunately, something went wrong. Hopefully I can just get a big gob of RTV on the back as I think it was the rear rubber seal that isn't doing its job.

I have studied about this with my 66 Dart. If one leak will be fixed two more will be found soon. Every second bolt has been drilled to water/oil/brake fluid/wind shield cleaner reservoir/tranny fluid/rear end oil. Even wheel bolts seem to have be sealed... |

Looks like it was the oil pan gasket there and not the rear main seal, at least. I'll see if a blob of RTV is enough. On second thought, probably better to just change out the gasket. |

Update - changed the gasket, looks like everything's OK. |
