Oil pan gasket question!

[C.bowles2]

My lower oil pan on my lly has a leak. I did some research and a lot of people are saying there is no gasket but just Rtv. Napa shows a feel pro gasket though, should I get that and use no Rtv or just silicon Rtv? And if so which kind. I have ultra black will that work? Here's the link and part number to that gasket. Part Number: OS30748 http://m.napaonline.com/parts/PartsDetail.aspx?k=FPGOS30748_0314961458

The factory does not use any gasket, but for some reason, the aftermarket has decided to make a gasket for it. I never use them. Just a good bead of RTV is all I do.

RTV, the black shit

Ok thanks. Maybe I swing by napa and check it out. Of it's a rubber deal I'll probably try it. Anyone know the torque specs on the lower pan bolts?

The ones I've seen are fiber gaskets.

I used a gasket when I built the engine

Chris the guy @ ATS that built my motor used the AC Delco silicone that comes in the caulking gun tube. He said that stuff has never let him down.

1/4 wide bead of silicone no wider, no thinner than 3/16.

That is by far the meanest, nastiest, BEST silicone sealer I have ever used.
