BLT_gmc,

"The Right Stuff"? is that the sealant used by Dodge?

I was considering using Loctite 518 (not permatex) ,which is what SAAB switched to for flange to flange sealing without gaskets.

My only concern is removal of the pan and cleanup. How tough is it to separate parts when using the "Right Stuff"?

Jim,

Just for the record the service support tech at Moroso informed me that over torquing their gasket will cause the gasket to split. Which is what I think may have happen to mine since the torque spec is only 70 in-lbs (5.83 ft-lbs).
