Thank you for your content and knowledge sharing. I was hoping you would comment on whether you recommend using a paper gasket with the little rubber bead that goes around the circumference (Mahle makes one for a nissan rogue) or using high temp RTV gasket maker instead. I prefer using rubber gaskets when possible, but sometimes they are not available for certain car applications Thank you for your time in this matter

Just found this video. Been using Ultra Grey for 20+ years on my Honda as a replacement for Hondabond. I resealed a CX5 trans pan with OEM Mazda sealant, and it seems to be the same stuff. So I got a whole caulk tube of Ultra Grey for my Miata resealing project. I did have leaking issues for years with Ultra Grey by torquing bolts immediately. On the CX5 trans pan I did the finger tight 1 hour then torque, and it hasn’t leaked a bit. So I guess I’ll keep on doing that on the Miata.

I’ve resealed my motor 4 times and am about to give up on this motor. Every seal keeps blowing after around 500 miles. valve cover, cas doing, cam seals, front and rear main, and oil pan. Now it also appears the head gasket failed and is ejecting oil as well.dont get what the issue is
@JohnnyPurpose4 күн бұрын
What's your take on using sealant with a cork oil pan gasket? I've got a Ford Courier with the stock Mazda 1.8 and the factory manual calls out putting the OEM Mazda sealant on both the pan and the block. Have you seen that work well in your experience or just use one or the other?

im trying to buy a 1997 miata at the moment and he said that the oil pan was recently changed with brand new pan and gasket and a brand new rear main seal as well! but he is saying that sone bits of oil tries to leak because it is missing a couple bolts...is that possible if it has a new gasket?
@jpm3 жыл бұрын
Hard to answer without knowing more details on missing bolts. There is a reason that there are so many bolts, so if you are missing a few next to each other, an oil leak would make sense. I would inspect everything very carefully before moving forward on that purchase.

I have seen Permatex Ultra Black and various others mentioned for the silicone sealant. Looks like you used Ultra Grey. Use the same as a thin film on the rear RMS plate or the oil pump? Any advantages of one over another? Thanks, Mark.
@jpm3 жыл бұрын
Either will work. The ultra black has a higher oil resistance, but, done right, like the video shows, I’ve never had a problem. Thanks for asking!
@jpm3 жыл бұрын
Just saw that you asked another question. Yes I use ultra grey on the rear plate however on the front for the oil pump I use the gasket that all of the 1.6 engine cars used, even on the later model engines. The 1.8's used an o ring up front. I'll retain that o ring and install the gasket on top of that. Works like a charm! Good luck!

Great Video!! I have to change oil pan on my 2005 Ford Focus 2.0L Duratec. I will be using the Ulta Black. According to the Permatex directions, even with the Ultra gray, It states to "Finger tighten until material begins to squeeze out around flange. Then, let dry one hour and tighten to torque Spec." I see you did not wait one hour. You tightened the pan down all at once without waiting the one hour. I just want to make sure I do this right the first time with NO leaks. What do you recommend? Waiting or just torque? The pan to crankcase torque spec is 18 in lbs, oil pan to bell housing is 35 in lbs and the front bolts are 89 in lbs. Thank you again for the great video. Any information you can render will be greatly appreciated!

@jpm3 жыл бұрын
I do it just like the video shows. Put it on, with just enough ultra grey then tighten the pan down in the correct pattern and torque. That works for me, but like I say, there are many ways to do these things, but I have a good amount of success with the way I do things, so I just keep that process going. Take your time and do it well. Torque is a great thing to follow.

Glad you got it done. Might say that you didn’t need that much permatex though. As I said in the video - every bit that squeezes out on the outside is probably squeezing out on the inside where there are moving parts. It’s a learned thing that takes time. Hopefully the squeezer tool was a nice addition to the toolbox.
