OK...I bought a new oil pan gasket(made of rubber) and I dont have a manual. Someone told me I need silicone sealant but isnt that the point of rubber? I know with transmission gaskets you dont use any. I know itrs probably common sense but I like to be sure. Oh and what are the torque setting for the pan, I know on d16's its like over a 100ft.lbs that seems like alot.

one you dont need any sealent.. 2 its proly 100 INCH lbs.. not FT lbs... and if you need to know the order of tightening start from the center and criss sross all the way to the last one

What he said, no sealant. But it does not hurt to use. most techs will throw some on, but its not needed..

As for the torque specs, they are tightened to 9 lb-ft.

Helms calls for RTV on the transmission side of the pan
