paceo 10 Posted May 8, 2015 do you really need to seal these up with mucky black rtv sealant?? its a nice elring gasket ive bought, but i see people have mixed views on using sealant? whats the point if it already has a gasket? 2.9 vr6. kind regards :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted May 8, 2015 what is key is not overtightening the sump bolts which will cause the lip to flex and indeed lead to leaking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 8, 2015 Yep as above, don't buckle the sump by over tightening the bolts. You don't need sealant if it's the rubber gasket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
