crank scraper question

Ok, had to refresh my memory.

You don’t use a gasket under the scraper. Just silicone. If you have both scrapers then no gasket under that one either.

Then a gasket over the top. You have to add that extra clearance up and make sure the oil pump screen is the correct distance from the pan.

I use a thin bead of silicone under the rubber end gaskets bore I put them on the pan. Then I use a thick (relatively thick) bead of silicone across the top of the rear main cap and the timing cover and bolt it down.

I use enough that some squishes out between the timing cover/main cap. Once it’s cured I take a razor blade and trim off the excess.
