oil pan seal for 258
I replaced the rear seal on my oil pan some time back, and I think the seal
is holding fine. I however have several leaks in the oil pan. I installed
the one piece rubber gasket, and used rtv around the gasket. I am going to
pull the oil pan back off and redo the gasket. My question is does the one
piece rubber gasket require any rtv, or should I put it on dry? I have
been researching this topic and there is very little information.

Re: oil pan seal for 258
I put them on dry, except for the area at the rear of the pan where it seals
under the rear main. This may just be an issue with my '94 YJ, but the pan
gasket tends to seep in this area unless some sealer is applied. I've used
both old timey Permatex Form-A-Gasket, and RTV on this and both work fine.

Re: oil pan seal for 258
I would put it on dry, but that means dry. If there's an oily film on
either part the RTV will not seal properly or for long if it does. I use
that brake cleaner in an aerasol can and a clean rag plus blow them off with
the air hose. make sure they are absolutely free of any oil film.
