Any recommendations on how to do this? I've got the replacement gasket, and the one that came off (presumably original) was the gasket plus rtv. Do I use the paper gasket plus rtv or rtv only. If rtv only, is the Right Stuff OK or I've seen recommendations of ThreeBond, Hondabond, Yamabond, etc.? Any tips on application?

 

I'd use the gasket plus a thin bead of Ultra Black RTV on both sides.

 

I used a thin coat of Hylomar on mine

 

I used a new gasket and Ultra Blk RTV. But after 7k miles, the gasket itself seems to be seeping. I can actually see where the gasket is soaked on the top. Going to redo it again, and not use a gasket, just RTV.

 

How many miles on your engine, if you are at 140,000 and above, consider replacing your time chain set and oil pump for wear, while you are in there.
