Apply Grey RTV along the entire flange area in an even coat. Apply a similar coat
to the oil pan and both sides of the gasket. Insert the gasket and oil pan on the case
and begin installing and tightening the bolts. Tighten the bolts around the oil pan
slowly and evenly until 90 inch/lbs is met. Clean excess RTV from around the oil
pan. You can also use a razor blade to clean excess gasket material away from the
oil pan.
Make sure the oil drain plug has a hole drilled for safety wire purposes. Sometimes
a tab needs to be installed under one of the oil pan bolts to provide a location for
the safety wire to be secured. The oil drain plug typically comes with a copper
washer as a gasket. Use torque chart for proper torque.
