You mentioned that you used silicone to dress the gaskets,did you dress all the old metal gaskets?
Do you have any oil seeping through them now?
My internal debate is to use the silicone or not to use it and leave the metal gaskets do the job.
My lower oil pan had no gasket,just a black RTV.I had a hard time removing the oil pan.No leaks were present there,but same silicone under lower and upper timing cases was leaking really badly.
Probably somebody didn't do it right.
I really don't know which way to go,if it leaked in near future I don't want to tear everything once again just to reseal.
Спасибо,тёзка.

This tool worked well for locking the crankshaft (of course, with the locking pin removed from the bell housing) while loosening the bolt for disassembly and torquing the new bolt in place after the repair.
