hey guys... my 04 motor needs a new valley pan gasket, when i removed the original one... it had some extra stuff molded to the bottom of the gasket... the new one doesn't have it.... any worries that silicon cant fix?

 

Talking about these?

There is also RTV required at the end notches.

 

yes.. those stupid things.... great.... know i have to wait for those also

 

If you're near an Autozone you can get a Felpro MS96002 valley pan gasket that includes the end seals, for less than just the seals from AB. It also includes a tube of RTV.
About $13 for the whole kit from Autozone.

 

so this is a valley pan gasket set withthe end seals?

 

It's the valley pan gasket, two end seals and a tube of RTV.

 

...and use the RTV! I did a HG job a few months ago and per RAVE I put RTV on the ends of the end seals and torqued the bolt to spec and now my rear valley seal is leaking. When I fix this leak I will RTV the whole end seal and not just the ends.

 

When I did the valley pan I RTV'd the entire valley ends and right up around each coolant passage.

 

me too

 

Yep live and learn. I am going to redo mine when it warms up a bit.
