Big block pan leak. Anyone use silicone only w/ no gasket? - 07/06/15 04:37 PM
I hate to have to ask this but I'm pretty much desperate on a big block oil pan leak at the front corners.
Does anyone seal their pan using silicone only, with no gasket?
Is this possible? Which silicone works?
I have a Milodon pan (seems paper thin).
I have tried:
-Fiber/rubber gaskets twice (with and without silicone)
-Cork gaskets twice (with and without silicone)
-Superformance gaskets
I have even deleted the windage tray out of desperation.
I've made sure the pan rail is flat every time.
I'm at my wits end. Any ideas are appreciated.
