Any one familiar with Form-A-Gasket and which type is best to use on a oil pan? Got a dadburn leak that won't stop after changing gasket. I ordered a new cork gasket but this time I want to make sure it don't leak. There are no pin hole leaks, the pan ain't warped, and no bolts are stripped out. On previous forums the form-a-gasket seemed to be ok but I don't know which one.

Rainin here this morning. Think I will take a nap.

Thanks in advance,

Rex

If you choose a silicone sealer a real good trick is to clean etc. Then apply to both surfaces and instal the bolts leaving about a 1/4 inch silicone gasket. Let it set for 24 hrs. then tighten, this way you actualy get a compressed gasket, and not just bonding two surfaces. I do this on the ones that coperate like the mother in law.

Mite want to take a ball pein hammer to the side that goes to the block to make sure the holes arent flared towards the block. The can get disorted from over tighting and the cap screws bottom out too quick. I use some of the rtv blue on the threads next to the head of the caprcrew.

Rex, I use Permatex #2 on both sides of the gasket. Check both surfaces to make sure they are clean and free of any old gasket material. The pan surface is easy, but the engine surface is harder to detect. Also, check the flange area of the pan and make sure it is flat and not distorted from overtightning. With cork gaskets, it is easy to overtighten and this will cause as many leaks as you are trying to prevent.

RTV works well. A lot of car makers just use this and no pan gasket. I used on a car no leaks,

I still trust good 'ol Permatex #2 (any auto parts store) more than the new silicone sealers. But I'm old fashioned..... ..
