Oil Pan Gasket Question

RustyRatRod said
Do you use the rubber ends or not? I've seen it done both ways. I've used RTV on the sides before but never the ends.

I did use the rubber ends. There is way too much gap on the ends for me to feel comfortable with not using the rubbers.

I am having a real problem keeping the front rubber from popping out on one side or the other, once I get down to the final bit of tightening.

I'm working on a solution now.
