Brent ... thanks for the tips . Yes , you`re correct about techs . Some are very good , but most just look at their screens .
I`m not running a windage tray so I plan to glue the gasket to the block first with the Permatex Super High Tack ... I assume you apply it with a brush or does it matter ? .... and then a very thin layer ( almost like a coat of paint ) of the gray sealer and bolt the pan up . You did confuse me a little when you said that after the gasket is glued to the block you use an extra bit of sealer between the the rear cap and the block . If the gasket is already glued to the block , how do you do that ?
I have a Ponds block and I checked the rear mainbolts and they are well below the rails .
Thanks
