One piece oil pan gasket question

[fiatslug87]

Would you still put a dab of sealant where the timing cover and block meet with the one piece silicone gasket?

[tbrand]

I did.

Always have, and the instructions for that gasket still call for a dap of RTV at all 4 bends.

Yep, put a small dab in each of the corners otherwise the oil will seep out. I usually put a small dab directly in the middle of the corner and then it spreads out when I torque the oil pan to spec.

Thanks guys, just wanted to make sure there were no contraindications with doing so.

The instructions are probably buried in the garage somewhere :dunce:.
