i went out and bought a new oil pan gasket from advance for my b16a. well am i suppose to use and RTV or gasket sealer? it an rubber gasket and i dont think u need any of them rtv or do i ?

 

When installing new oil pan gaskets I always apply a very light coat of HONDABOND on each side of the gasket...then I use it for lube

 

nice to know lol. so it not really needed to have it all way around. i fed up bec i put a new oil pan gasket last week with rtv sealer on both side of the gasket and then install it. son of a bitch leaks ! prolly bec of the gasket not seated correctly with that rtv on both sides.

 

no you dont need any rtv. just put it on. and properly tighten the oil pan bolts. good to go.

 

hell yeah! my dad was right tho. said not to use any damn rtv sealer or ur **** will leak.... hhaa damn ford techicans

Not true...I have used a thin coating on the 4 oil pan gaskets I have changed and have never had a leak. You could go either way, but using a bit of hondabond will not make "ur **** leak."

 

i used too much on both side of the gasket.. i mean all the way around on both side lol

 

ya you dont need any rtv or hondabond really. just torque it right and if you do choose to put some sealant, do it very lightly.

 

yeah i just figured that out after i did some searching job on h-t
