Okay so everybody has a different way of replacing the oil pan gasket, and how they apply RTV silicone, and if they even apply any at all. A 6 year honda tech from HT suggested spraying Hi tach gasket sealant on the oil pan and placing the gasket on the pan, then applying Honda bond to the sides and corner of the upper side of the gasket.

I was wondering what were your guys technique when replacing the oil pan gasket? what would you guys use to seal the gasket, and how do you apply it?

Does my RTV gasket maker work good for this job?

thanks for reading.

 

I buy PermaDry gaskets from FelPro, they do not require RTV and none of my gaskets have ever leaked on me.

 

oem gasket with honda bond on mine.

 

wait so permadry gaskets form felpro really does require any rtv and gasket sealant? Is this really true?
Im planning to buy permadry gasket from felpro and was wonderng if I should buy a sealant?

 

If it is a PermaDry then no. I have never seen a PermaDry require RTV. That is also somewhat why they are named that. They are reusable and do NOT require RTV.

 

I'm sorry I don't mean to question you, or challenge your answer. I just want to make sure I do it right the first time so it can be my last time. But do you have any proof or facts that permadry doesn't require any RTV or Honda bond at all?

thanks for the feedback so far.

 

Fel-Pro PermaDryPlus gaskets do not require any adhesives and can be reused.

 

ohh so fel-pro permadryPlus gasket do not require any adhesives, but the regular permadry gasket requires alittle bit? or sorry I'm confused.

 

All I know the PermaDryPlus don't need anything. Make sure you just get a permadryplus and you're good.

 

okay so i tried looking for a permadry plus oil pan gasket for my 1998 civic cx, with a d16y7 and could not find it anywhere.. where do you guys find permadry plus oil pan gasket? I found the regular permadry gasket at autozone.. but anyone know??
