Finishing up my balance chain/timing chain replacement and am at the point where I need to reinstall the oil pan. I loosened the axle mounts enough for the diff to pivot and give me plenty of room to maneuver the pan in place.
When I removed the pan it appeared to only have a Permatex or RTV type gasket maker (no actual gasket) in place. I have a Felpro oil pan gasket and also have some Permatex Ultra Black. Do I use both, or just the Permatex? If both, should I apply the Permatex to the pan, place the gasket on top, and install. Should I also put a bead of Permatex on the block where the pan mounts.
Did not have any leaks prior to removing the pan and since it's a pain to remove/install want to install it the best way to avoid future leaks.
Thanks
