2. Before installing the oil pan gasket, apply a
bead (approximately 1/8–1/4 inch
[0.014–0.028 mm] wide) of RTV silicone
sealant (MACK Silastic
®
342SX32, Dow
Corning Silastic
®
RTV732 or General
Electric RTV130) along the joint between the
flywheel housing and the cylinder block
(refer to the following illustration).

Flywheel Housing and Cylinder Block
The RTV sealant should not be allowed to “skin
over” before the oil pan gasket is installed.
3. Position the isolating oil pan gasket on the
oil pan rails with the ribbed side facing up.
4. Beginning at the center of the pan at one of
the rectangular tabs, align the rubber
locating cones with the corresponding holes
in the pan rails (Figure 363).

gasket with one hand while carefully pulling
the rubber cone through the hole with the
other hand until seated (Figure 364).
Continue this procedure for the remaining
locating cones.

6. Visually check the underside of the pan rail
to ensure that all locating cones are properly
seated.
During removal of the isolating oil pan from the
engine, the studs may have backed out while
loosening the stud nuts. Be sure they are fully
seated prior to installing the oil pan.
