Okay so my 1998 cx is seeping some oil from the oil pan gasket, and I'm Planning to buy a Fel-Pro Permadry Oil Pan gasket. I heard/ know that Permadry plus gaskets you don't have to add any additional sealants or RTV.

But since I'm going to use the regular permadry gasket and to be on the safe side I was wondering where I should apply some RTV silicone. The corner area of the upperside of the gasket which is facing the engine block?
And for the oil pan side of the gasket where should I apply RTV? to be on the safeside? the short sides? where the oil pump is?


anyways thanks for reading, and any feedback and tips would be great. thanks!

 

Just a question, why would you choose this over a oem honda gasket?

 

because some people on HT recommended its non leaking properties over OEM, and its easy for me to get to, as appose to driving pretty far to honda..

 

Dab it in the corners and where its leaking right now. I myself would just put it on the whole gasket, but I'm re using mine so gotta be safe

 

I would run a small bead over both sides, not even a bead, more like a thin .5mm layer...

Oh and put a nice dab where the block has a Joint with anything.

 

id use jb weld... that thing will never leak! lol


no but seriously, if felpro reccomends no rtv... then dont use rtv... duh... lol
