Learn how to use RTV to make a rear differential gasket, waterpump gasket, oil pan gasket, thermostat gasket, valve cover gasket, or whatever needs a gasket but you cant find a gasket. Using this method will help make sure you seal whatever you are working on, properly. If you dont use the RTV gasket maker correctly then you can get a leak and all that hard work was for nothing.
Here is the RTV I used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FW2NB2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000FW2NB2&linkCode=as2&tag=chri0e2-20&linkId=ZNK4MMBHUJ45JGCS

ChrisFix before he was happy all the time…
is it verry wrong if i torqued the gasked to proper torque, after 4 days, coz i forgot to do it then… ?
Me just here trying to figure out is a 50mL tube enough for one oil pan?
Crazy watching this in 2023 and seeing just how far good ol' Christopher Fixopher has come
Great Video
My 1988 Suzuki Samurai doesn't use an oil pan gasket at all. It is like that from the factory. Only rtv. I could never get a good answer on instruction on how to properly use rtv and the diagram in my service manual is old and black and white so you can't properly see the bead at all. Your video has helped alot.
What would I use to temporarily hold a gasket to a bank 1 cat so that I can bolt the cat + gasket to the engine manifold?

Seems all good in your procedure. Personally I would also loop it fully around the holes, not just the inside. Although I would close around the holes after I'd done the main run. Anyone else have thoughts on this ? Oh and for anyone with a lathe or know someone that does, I would get a couple of longer guide pins to pass straight through cover and then through the tapped holes and then press home the cover. Temporary studs fixed in the housing could work, but if you miss hit them on approach then your gonna have to fix that sealant smudge again.
This is a classic ChrisFix video because it doesn't start with "Heey Guyss!!…"
Cuts the desired thickness
"But you can't go back"
Thanks to this video I was able to fix my valve cover leak I changed the gaskets 3 times with torque specs
Why red and not black or grey ? Does the read diff get pretty hot ?
Your technique is ok, BUT your using the wrong one, they make the GREEN permatex specifically for gear case and differential sealing. It is resistant to gear oil.
…i called 2 and visited another transmision/ rear end shop. All three shops said not to wait an hour before torquing down the cover bolts as the rtv is already set up after the initial wait after you aplie the bead. Youd be 'rebraking' the initial seal…🤔
Right side middle bolt was never torqued? (I'm 9 years late)
You didn't torque the one at 4 o clock.
