I helped a friend put one in. He was told to not us rtv when installing it and it imediately leaked. We removed the seal and filled top and bottom with channel with rtv, pushed seal into place and it quit leaking. We used paper pan gaskets with a smear of rtv on the pan side only and torqued the bolts evenly, just tight. So far so good.
