Hey i just replaced my gasket. for the third time allow me to explain
1. The first time I was putting the motor together and I used a new felprow gasket and no silicon (it leaked)

2. Because of money issues I figured that I was gonna drop the oil pan and put some silicon(RTV Ultra Black) with the old gasket

3. Next I got some advance auto parts store credit and bought a new felpro gaske and put that on with some silicon and now I thinks thats leaking.

Anyways I was just wondering what you guys do.

Do you torque it in the right order and with a torque wrench?

If you torque them in the wrong order, or tighten them randomly with a 'cork' gasket, it will leak nearly 100% of the time.

With a Rubber gasket, you have SOME le-way, but regardless, I am willing to bet you aren't using a torque wrench or torquing them in sequence.

*edit*

I now see you are boosted, do you have a decent crank-case breather setup? IIRC you need to modify that so you aren't boosting your oil pan

buy a honda gasket and some honda bond or ultra flange2 in the squirt bottle, u only put the gasket sealer on the ends. ur other option is to go to honda have them do it and if it leaks you have a 12 month, 12k mile warranty on parts and labor

Hondabond and the Toyota sealant is the stuff everybody uses...far superior than the cheap Autozone crap....only thing is, it's like 20 bucks a tube
