Oil pan gasket replacement: looking for tips

[digger]

Well, as per RTV instructions you would wait 1 hour before final torque, but I used Toyota FIPG which allows full torque right away.




it's great! Finally got the oil pan on with a new production paper gasket!

Is the Toyota stuff like that because they usually have a groove in one of the flanges that gets filled? Fully torquing immediately would squeeze it down to nothing?

So everything well today. No leaks or anything but as I tried to get the engine mounts back on I noticed one mount was damaged beyond repair. The PO actually siliconed it back together but it split on me. My intake boot tore as well. Didn’t try to start the car. I just filled the fluids and will be ordering new mounts.

Will most likely turbo the car next summer so what mounts should I get?!

I'm not sure, although I've read that lots of enthusiasts for other car makes use toyota fipg as well (same with hondabond), and that designing car parts around a specific sealant when RTV is readily available seems limiting?

The only Hondabond can be used a liquid gasket is Hondabond HT. You are describing Hondabond 4 which is not to be used for a gasketless applications.

Here is HT instructions
