The RTV goes between the pieces, it seals the gaps where more than 1 part comes together (timing cover/oil pan/block). Wouldn't hurt to use a little bit on the gaskets if you want but it's not nessecary.

I would not that stuff is messy and if you ever have to remove it again you'll be sorry. The rubber gets nothing but where the rubber and the cork meet you can put RTV in that area. You could use some kind of contact cement just to hold the cork side rail pieces in place so it don't move around on you while you put the pan back in place. Give me a bit I'll see what they say in my Ford book --- |

Ok, thanks. My concern with using it if not required, is that when removing the old gasket there were a number of strings of dried RTV running along the inside of the pan, I dont like the idea of this working it's way up the engine

Garys got it, use black rtv at the corners of the cork / rubber gaskets. I use some stuff called "HI Tack" on the cork gaskets to
hold them in place. |

Thanks for all the advice, I lifted the engine this weekend and replaced the gasket.
It also gave me the opportunity to sort all the areas I missed with a paint brush! I just hope I got a good seal and the new gasket doesnt leak.. |
