Default Re: Oil Pan Rope Seals

Throw the rear and side gaskets away and use RTV. Still use the front seal, best to use the modern rubber lip seal if you have the crankshaft pulley off and can install the lip seal around the pulley throat. If you must use the original two piece seal there is no need to soak in oil since the ones I have seen are teflon. If you are building a show car then you must use the gaskets but if you are building a driver and don't like oil leaks use RTV. Just make sure the surfaces are squeaky clean. RTV does not like an oily film.
