Oil Pan Sealing Tips LA Small Block?
I'm in the process of putting a clutch in my 69 D300 and while the transmission is out, I am fixing the oil leaks coming from the pan. Do you guys have a certain method of installing the gaskets & pans to eliminate the leaks? I have the Fel-Pro 4 piece gasket set with the cork pan rail gaskets and rubber end gaskets. I have thoroughly cleaned the pan and have straightened the pan rails.
I have heard to use high tack on the pan rails to glue the gasket in place and to use a small dab of RTV were the cork gaskets meet the rubber end seals. Leave the block side clean and dry and reinstall. If this is not correct, I would appreciate any feedback you guys can provide.
