Perfect install, I've seen what happens when someone squeezes a ton of RTV into the motor. Instantly packs off the sump when they Rev up the motor. Great job Joe! One and done!

Thanks Duddie! I love how easy the big block tray goes on.

Great job not over RTVing the pan just enough to get a good seal, and not getting some much on that it clogs the pickup by squishing out, all the newbies should take note!

Its good your wiping the excess RTV off, I have taken apart oil filters that were full of it!! No excuse for not doing it, it only takes a minute as you demonstrated.

Your very lucky. Even when I just do a dab of RTV on anything it always covers all of my hands LOL. Great job on the pan install

Per nick’s garage the gasket makes the seal no rtv needed just a little on the timing cover and main seal retainer

Joe, you don't use any RTV on the top of the gasket that contacts the pan? Why not?

I’ve done both ways. Glued it to pan with yellow dog, and used rtv to pan side. Or Rtv to both sides of gasket. I’ve even copper coated both sides with the spray can and butter had an issue. I think it’s personal preference. Rtv always at any gaps or joints

How tight do you tighten the bolts?

@JustMoparJoe

4 ай бұрын

Always tightened by hand, I feel for it to start getting tight, and then watch the gasket. When the rtv begins squeezing out, I stop. If you go too much, the gasket will push out. You can see the gasket push out a slight amount, that’s normal. There is a factory torque spec in inch pounds out there, but I’ve never used it.

As long as the video is chock full of information you can make them 2 hours long 😂.
