Ted - When you did the install, did you do anything at the joints between the block and the rear seal retainer or the timing cover? A smear of RTV?Where I would normally use white grease and/or a light smear of RTV on an oil pan gasket, no sealers were used with the RGT oil pan gasket installation. It was installed dry and as per their instructions. The sealing rail on the oil pan was scrutinized prior to installation to ensure it was truly straight and not going to be a problem in that area. I consider the torque values for the oil pan bolts to be critical with this particular gasket as over tightening could potentially bring oil seepage back to the forefront. I feel confident that I could remove this RGT oil pan gasket and reuse it due to not using any sealer in the original installation.

I'm confused. Is this a Best gasket or a Real gasket?

It’s Real, not Best. Fixed that in my original post.

The gentleman that posted here a while back describing a rear oil pan reinforcement kit he designed, did anyone use one or has a photo?
