[240trainee]

very easy

clean off the mounting surfaces well and use RTV

Good to go.

When installing oil pans I like to let the RTV sit and get gummy before I completely tighten the pan.. That way the RTV doesn't get pushed out everywhere...

Dont Over Torque The Allen Screws!!!


Also, now would be a good time to clean the oil pick up strainer or even replace it with a new/clean one.

Also, if you're not using the OEM RTV, make sure you use something that is equivalent to it. Permatex Ultra Grey RTV is what I used and it works just fine. On the back of the package, you'll see a chart that tells you it's an equivalent to the OEM RTV. I've used other RTVs in the past and all of them have leaked on me. Hope this helps :bigok:

Also you can mill out the slot of the oil pickup 2mm at most on each side.. I've been told that anymore creates an issue with too much pressure.. How I dunno.. I haven't thought into it cause I really don't care, maybe the pick up sucks too much shit in and the pump fails prematurely.... Just sharing knowledge..

i like to use Toyota RTV instead of Nissan. always worked good for me.

[design240sx]

i will do! thanks for your help!

[design240sx]

would you guys know the torque spec for the oil pan?

[steve shadows]

Permetex Super Grey is OEM equivilant, cheaper and easier to find.

how long should i leave it on for?

[SDS13COUPE]

For about 5-10 minutes. Also let it cure overnight once it's all tightened down. Then in the morning just add oil and check for leaks. If nothing good to go.

[Slidin240Wayz]

Yea don't let it get too gummy, it is supposed to be pushed out of the edges.

i am a fir believer in using hondabond for shit like this, i have never had a leak with it, im sure there are other people on here who know what im talking about

[Koopa Troopa]

how long should i leave it on for?

Till it's not wet but still really sticky. Time all depends on the amount used.

[SRzenkiS14]

When i did my oil pan i used Hondabond and i let it sit by itself for about 15min. then i put it on the car and tightened it down and let it sit for an hour without oil. After an hour i put oil in and double checked everything and drove away. Now i was told by a Honda Tech with a sr20 that it was fine to do that. Was that info wrong?
