Replacing Oil Pan on 1G TSi

[iceminion]

my $0.02:

use a straight edge to verify that there are no bends in the pan, pound any dents flat.

I have heard good things about "The Right Stuff" as a matter of fact, my goodyear has stopped using black silcone because this stuff outperforms it in every area (we cannot have customers come back, not good for business)

Personally I recommend 3M Weather Stripping Adheasive, nasty nasty stuff!!! and it dries in under a minute and is extremely sticky!!! it is less flexible then RTV when cured, so when removing the pan it comes off quite a bit easier.....

I've used "The Right Stuff" many times and it works great.

I personally used the Fel-Pro gasket on my oil pan because I didn't know you used RTV to seal it up lol. No visual leaks coming from it. My turbo return line though, that is a little bit different story.

LOLz. RTV works there, too. Quit being lazy and fix it!

That's the plan, no time right now though.
