Oil pan gasket? or Permatex? lol?

[FlikRacing]

Alright, Iv been told both, " use the cork gasket " " No don't it blows out " Well I am not sure, iv heard people say use the permatex, it was intended for that, well I want the real answer before I do something stupid. id rather do it right now then later thanks.

I use 3bond Black RTV with great success.

I used Toyota FIPG, which is black "oil resistant" RTV, it runs like 14 bucks a tube. Cork gaskets didnt work well for me, always breaking and squishing out the sides, etc.... Just use RTV...

Prefer the 3bond to the Toyota FIPG x 10

 

[GrimJack]

I use Permetex blue sealant.

Is the Brand called 3 bond? lol or is it permatex black rtv? Thanks IJ.

The brand is 3bond, click the link for the part number it's probably one of the best RTV products you can buy.

I've sealed a few oil pans with Permatex The Right Stuff, and never had problems with leaking. I've also used the Toyota FIPG, the FIPG has a better shelf life once opened then the Right Stuff does.

 

[FlikRacing]

How much should I put on the oil pan before i place it on the block? thick?

Follow the TSRM.

I can't stand to use FIPG.

I use the cork gasket from NAPA every time.

I use 3bond Black RTV with great success.

The TSRM actually calls for 3 bond products, i bet they're one and the same.


I use Loctite products that i order from summit.

I used to use 3bond way back in my motocross days

Pretty impressed how well they work on the 7M.

I'm gonna use this thread since it almost covers what I want to know.

I had my engine rebuilt last december, but ever since I have had a minor oil leak, which seems to come from the oil pan on the passenger side.

We are going to fix it next week, but I would like to know if I should put a gasket in there or not.

The TSRM says no gasket as far as I can see. And reading this thread I can see people just using sealant.

I was wondering if the fact that my pan is leaking after using just the sealant would change this recommendation? The guy who is going to help me reseal the oil pan tells me to use a gasket this time since just using sealant on an old previously leaking oil pan is just asking for trouble.

If I should use a gasket this time, where do I get one? Does Toyota make one?

 

[Suprafast0422]

make sure both surfaces are clean and dry and sealent will work just fine. I myself just use fipg on anything that calls for a sealent because i work at toyota and get it pretty cheap. Interested in this 3bond stuff though, is it just easier to work with then other sealents or why do some of you like it better then others?

FOLLOW THE TSRM.

if you follow it exactly, your oil pan wont leak.

this includes checking the oil pan sealing surface for flatness.

be sure to follow the proper torque sequence and it wont leak.
