Oil pan gasket vs rtv

I used "High Tack" gasket adhesive alot when I was a line tech in the wrenchin' business...RTV isn't always good because the gasket will slide around as you torque it down etc. basically each gasket ,RTV and gasket adhesive has its time and place. Experience will dictate but some gaskets go on dry and some need adhesive and some need RTV in certain locations . Ill always for example use RTV anywhere coolant may potentially get into oil. That basically means Intake and timing cover coolant passages on an LA engine etc. but Ill use the RTV around the coolant passages and that's it. :thumbsup:
