diyanich is on a distinguished road
Can anybody please explain what's the point of metal gaskets like an upper oil pan,lower timing case.
If I were to use the black rtv how should it be applied?I don't see any reason for a metal or whatever gasket if I had to put rtv on both sides of it.
Is oil gonna seep through if I only put the metal gaskets and a bit of rtv in the corners?
When I did my Valve Cover gaskets during Valley Pan DIY I followed the advises to put some silicone on the half moons corners.Gaskets didn't leak much,but rubber nut washers,not all,but some where seeping some oil.Was it because I haven't degreased them properly before reinstalling?
Please,let me know what to do,I don't really want to mess this one up and reseal everything in 10,000 kms.
Thanks
