Hi, thanks for clicking on my thread again y'all. I truly appreciate the help I've received on this forum lately.
So I'm going to replace my side cover and oil pan gaskets. This time around, I will use The Right Stuff. I guess I'll apply it to both sides of each gasket. But now I'm very nervous to apply it and I'm having so many questions about the process.
What do I do about the bolt holes? How do I avoid them while still creating a solid bead around the whole gasket?
How much do I use, and how do I make sure that it doesn't squish out the sides of the gasket and into the oil pan when I torque the bolts down?
If any of you have sever used this stuff on gaskets, you would be a life saver to offer some advice or tips. Most tutorials online don't even include a cork gasket. They use this stuff between bare metal.
Thank you in advance folks!
