318 Oil Pan Gasket/Sealing techniques?
I've got a 318 that is still in the vehicle, I'm putting a new oil pan gasket on due to it leaking profusely in the past. I want to do this the right way and not deal with leaks in the future. I have thoroughly cleaned the pan, straightened the pan rails and bolt hole openings. I have purchased the felpro cork gasket set that also has the two rubber end seals.
1. Should I use a gasket sealant, like permatex high tack, to glue the cork gaskets to the oil pan? Should this also be applied to the surface of the engine block?
2. For the rubber end seals, should there be any gasket sealant or gasket maker(RTV) applied between them and the pan, and/or between them and the block?
3. When tightening the pan bolts, I should tighten only until snug, not to deform the cork gasket correct? Since they wouldn't be tightened to the factory torque spec, to prevent unwanted loosening, should blue loc-tite should be used on the pan bolts?
