I went to the local dealer to get an oil pan gasket, the parts guy said it's discontinued. One of the techs stated they use RTV for an oil pan gasket. I dislike RTV, but if it's the "approved" method, or possibly better than an original gasket, I'll go with it.

 

use the rtv called "right stuff" put a good bead on it and torque the bolts down evenly.... u will not have any problems exept the next time you try to take that **** off... if is one of the best rtvs on the market and they want u to use it

 

Agree with modyfyit.

 

It's made by Permatex and sold at NAPA. Used it on my oil pan, valve cover, and head gaskets. It looks like a Cheez Whiz can.

 

I also used the "right stuff" it has been working for 0k miles without any trouble. If you really want the old gasket, check with atlantic british. last I looked they still carried them. hope it helps. gotta love a rover. duboff

 

duboff you know your s--t, i got a caulking gun of it and parts has plenty refulls so many amaturs

 

agree - right stuff is outstanding. I used it on my powerstroke in a number of places. It is nice as you do not have to wait at all to fill her up just put a bead on and replace cover and fill with oil or whatever fluid the seal is used for ( water pump, oil pan transaxle covers...). I have never had it leak and it is available at autozone as well.
