Oddmodman Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Do I need to buy a dedicated gasket if I'm going to be dropping the belly pan, or can I RTV it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I'd highly recommend the one piece Felpro or Victor Reinz rubber gasket. You'll need to RTV the corners and the section where the timing chain cover and block merge, but other than that, the gasket will be your best friend.

metrictonner Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I think I've tried everything and everything leaks. One piecers leak the least, just don't be afraid to add some RTV up front at the joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddmodman Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 I suppose I should just find out how much one costs. I'm just cheap is all; hence the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knever3 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I second the one piece rubber gasket, when you are in there might as well look at the rear main. If you have oil leaks make sure your breather pcv systems are working. If they aren't you will push past gaskets all the time because the crankcase will be under positive pressure.

Oddmodman Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Oh yeah, I'm getting in there cuz the oil pump and the RMS need replacing. And thanks for the pcv info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
