Slant rear main and oil pan saga and fix

volaredon said

I do not believe in RTV or "right stuff" as it may be called..... if I use anything its proper gaskets, and either Aviation shellac, (a "Permatex brand product), Indian Head or Weatherstrip adhesive just enough to hold things in place and minimal RTV type products at gasket joints/corners.

I have been in the same boat before but with three separate failures on this assembly, one by literally the guy who wrote the book, something had to be done. All the parts here were factory type replacements.

Right stuff: Permatex® the Right Stuff® Gasket Maker – BLACK

is different than standard RTV, it has zero cure time required and is quite a bit thicker. anywhere where you use black/grey/red/blue RTV, i use this instead. Copper RTV is the one exception that i dont replace it if called for by a manufacurer. its also much tackier, like a glue and less like as silicone
