summit racing vagueness

Hi, those of you who have ordered from summit listen up. I'm soon to be placing an order with an oil pan gasket. I'm not too sure if its the correct one. Please confirm this item for me. THANKS!

Why would you order an oil pan gasket for a 7M? You need the stuff that comes in a tube that is available basically everywhere.

Permatex ultra black right? I've tried that and i got a few leaks... mabye because i just did a half-assed job.

3bond 1207 is the best RTV I've used for pans so far.

or get the oem shit from toyota for $7 a tube, enough stuff to seal two oil pans.

Toyota black FIPG is the best stuff to use!

Cork gaskets are a definate No-No........
The only reason Fel-Pro offers them are for the dumb-a$$ auto repair shops who have always used cork gaskets on the frauds, cheezys, and dogs
(fords, chevys & dodges) since 1935.
And Silicone sealants are not that much better.
Go with the Toyota sealer, or one of the substitutes made by aftermarket people (they will say that they are a subsitute for the Toyota sealer).
That stuff is not silicone, and holds up much better.
And it is the same stuff to use on the Toyota auto trans pans.

Just make sure you clean the surfaces so that they are 100% oil free.
They need to bond with the steel pan, and cast iron block.

I have to disagree on that Aaron
(try the 3bond)

I know mines NA, but this can relate, I used black RTV from Autozone, I think it was 3bond (maybe?) anyways, worked great just make sure you get every point, I have no leaks.
