What kind of RTV are you using? Any of the stuff I've used wants assembly to be right away. |

depending on what it says on the tube, there might be a waiting period before assembly. This allows the RTV to well... V (vulcanize). It becomes slightly stiffer and tacky. This will allow the RTV to spread out without becoming to thin in areas when the surfaces are mated and then tightened down. |

Clean both surfaces with brake / parts cleaner. Apply silicone on the bottom of the block with a single bead, trace around bolts and bolt holes. After applying silicone, immediately install oil pan finger tight until you start seeing the silicone seep out and STOP, Wait a couple of hours for the silicone to cure. After 2 hours, tighten bolts 1/4 to 1/2 turns. The Directions... http://www.permatex.com/documents/tds/Automotive/81160.pdf Dan Edited by 96Geoman, May 31 2010, 05:43 PM.
