How not to use RTV with Gaskets

#1 Post by rgallant » Fri Mar 26, 2021 11:21 am

As I was stripping an engine for spare parts that had an overheating issue, I found a good part of the reason. When it say to use some RTV they mean a small bead, I found that stuff everywhere including on the oil pickup.

PS thanks to Don for a excellent price for the engine and transmission
