Has anyone used the Right Stuff for a oil pan gasket? I just did a trans filter on my kid's 2002 Jeep Liberty and it had the Right Stuff on it when I removed it so I used the Right Stuff when I put it back on. It was not to difficult to remove the pan, I used a knife to split it and it came right off. I was thinking how good it would seal up on my oil pan with windage tray. Any thoughts pro or con?????????? It sure does a good job of sealing when I have used it. I have always used 2 gaskets and it sealed ok but when I have gotten back into the engine you could tell it was slightly seeping. Just kicking it around, so don't kick me around to much.

We used to use it to seal up everything on the 6.5 GM diesels used in HUMMVEEs for the military. We used it in place of valve cover, oil pan and timing cover gaskets. Worked great if you cleaned the surface well and give it proper time to set up. If it will seal up those oil puking, blow-by coughing P.O.S's, You should be fine.

Where do you get this stuff. Never heard of it.

I think some of the newer applications call for rtv only ( no gasket ). But I think it would work ok if you did it like form a gasket where you apply a bead, lightly assemble it then cinch it down after it dries.

I ain't used it (yet) but reportedly it's the best there is & it is pricey

What I have heard about the Right Stuff it is horrible to take apart :That is why I have not used it, yet

I previously used it on the oil pan on my 383 in my Super Bee... You have to use 2 layers due to the windage tray of course.

Taking it off was not fun... it took a long long time to take it off... like a couple of hours with the engine on a stand and using a razor blade and a pry bar.

It sealed great, but I wont do it again. I damn near had to wreck the pan taking it off.

I used TRS on an automatic transmission oil pan, it came apart with no drama. It isn't JB Weld, for the love of Pete!
I like it because it sets up almost immediately, you can install the part, add fluids and drive. I've done it, no leaks ever.

It does not like gasoline, will turn into foam when the gas hits it. But for everything else it is indeed The Right Stuff. And no, it isn't cheap, but it works.

Only stuff I've used for the past 7 years
