I searched and came up with mixed results. This group says use sealant on the corners, this other group says none at all, I want somebody who has done this before and done it right to tell me. Do i need to put any kind of sealant when replacing this gasket? and if so, what kind works best?

 

Helms manual says to use liquid gasket in the 4 corners.

 

dont use the sealant, everytime I have the oil pan has leaked... just make sure both surfaces are clean and torque to specs

 

When I put my Moroso pan on I put a small bead of sealant down the middle of the entire gasket and after 3K+ miles it has not leaked a drop. It may not be needed but why wouldn't you do it just for a little extra protection.

 

When I installed my oil pan, I used Hondabond to seal it. Never had any problems with mine.

 

never had any problem using sealant.. i use it all the time

 

yeah mine has sealant on it and now appears to be leaking

 

i follwed helms was changed 2k miles ago..no drip/leak
