technique to sealing a oil pan on a 360?

fuzzman said
I know that I have asked this before but, what I'm looking for is what is the proper way to install the gasket. Do you put a skim coat of a certian kind of sealer on or do you install it dry? Do you hurry and put it together right away after you put a skim coat of sealer on? or no sealer at all? Also I'm going to have to take it off and put it back on while the motor is in the car, it's a 67 barracuda. Any suggestions?

I put a thin coat of rtv on the rubber seals, and a small blob in the corners where they meet the cork. I don't use any on the side rails of the pan. Stick it together while the rtv is still wet. Snug up the bolts and haven't had any issued. Done it this way many times.

Also, use brake clean to remove ALL oil residue. Thats very important.
