Just dismantling a motor picked up in a recent deal, I needed the fancy
Winner's Circle pan. The motor has a crank, rods, and pistons, nothing else
(oil relief too). The pan is RTV gooped on BOTH SIDES of the gasket, and on
every screw. The engine is a big gooey mess. You don't need the pan on other
than as a cover because you can't do the lifters without the pan off.
The correct procedure is no RTV whatsoever, or a film of it on the pan side of
the gasket, NOT on the block side. If you disagree, I will someday curse you
when I take apart one of your motors.
