Troublesome Oil Leak

Tooljunkie said

I found the grey rtv doesent really set up hard like other sealants. I bought it because there was no ultra black on shelf.

i had a 318 poly that would not stop leaking at back china wall. I put shop vac on crankcase vent and put sealant across the outside. I cleaned it first.
That finally sealed it.

If you use the Ford brand grey RTV, you can glue the oil pan on with no gasket, screw the bolts in until it dries, then once dry remove the bolts, throw them away and it will never leak and you'll have to pry it off with a prybar the next time it has to come off and the oil pan probably won't live through it. Ask me how I know. lol
