I wouldn't bother using gasket maker. The OEM gaskets seal perfectly without it and you're just introducing an unknown to the equation, possibly shortening the life of the OEM gasket. The trick I saw was to use cheap zip ties to hold the gasket in place on the pan as you raised it, get one or 2 bolts hand threaded enough to support the pan and hold the gasket in place, then clip and remove the cheap zip ties and finish the job. |
Using Ultra Black in addition to the OEM gasket will absolutely, positively add A LOT more miles in-between gasket changes. No question about it.
This is Absolutely true when discussing the VC, which is at an angle. This poses a problem to begin with.
