MitsuStyle - View Single Post - Do you spray your gaskets before putting them on?

dam.. I ordered the full engine gasket kit from Brookdale Mitsubishi. I looked through everything last night and didn't come across a gasket for the rear main housing thing. I did some more reading up last night and I guess I'm wondering if the 6 bolts are the only ones that use a regular paper gasket for the rear main housing and the 7 bolts used RTV. Went to extremepsi also and they only show a gasket for that for 90-94.

Can you or anyone clearly confirm that the 7 bolts do indeed use a paper gasket? Come to think of it, I don't remember scraping paper gasket material off it but that was several months ago. I don't remember.

Thanks guys!
