brickhouse15 Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Nobody? I'm hesitant to use RTV on an oil pan. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53505-gasket/#findComment-400144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgumby Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I use the gray ultra flex rtv it won’t leak and just don’t put a lot on it so it won’t squeeze out and let it dry a little bit before the install 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53505-gasket/#findComment-400145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickhouse15 Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Should I even use the gasket that I made, or just RTV? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53505-gasket/#findComment-400146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
h67st Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I've used Toyota FIPG (form in place gasket) on several things that I didn't have a gasket for; I've never had them leak yet. It doesn't smell like RTV but it definitely has some silicone in it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53505-gasket/#findComment-400175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) I made 1/2 dozen of those a few years ago and used two. One in my B-673ST, and the other on my B-61ST. Don't know what I did with the balance but I'll let you know if I see them in the next few days. They are cork/neoprene which I cut from sheet and punched the holes. I have the tools to do this work but it's a slow process by hand..... Gray "Permatex" works very well against oil for a seal but it's hard to pry apart later.

brickhouse15 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Thanks for the help, guys. I just don’t know how concerned I should be about the possibility of rtv loosening up and getting into the oil.

1965 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Make sure both pieces are as flat as possible; I always use flat file if can; I always wipe rtv down with my finger & make sure you have just enough for contact. Lots of people put big beads that are unnecessary & it bubbles up all around. I would use your gasket too. If it’s out of good material.

brickhouse15 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 I made my own with rubber/cork gasket material but it clearly isn’t doing a great job on its own. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53505-gasket/#findComment-400205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 If it’s got cork in it; if you put too much rtv the gasket will swim on you. Like said I put very thin amount 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53505-gasket/#findComment-400207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakerstwo Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 rtv on cork is like lube on the gasket it can slide out. Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53505-gasket/#findComment-400208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
