Hey guys, i have my timing cover loose and the oil pan/block rubber gasket is still stuck to the bottom of the timing cover. My gasket set came with cork gaskets just for the 2 front corners of the oil pain where the timing cover sits. Should i just cut the sections of rubber gasket exposed when i remove the timing cover and use the cork and RTV? this is what my shop specialist said. Please tell me what you think im in the middle of it all hehe

I just used the rubber half seal that goes through the dip, and then RVT'd the rest, Didn't leak a drop.

I did what 90gt did -- cut it at the semicircular piece, and just replaced it with a dab of rtv at the corners. My oil pan gasket was the one piece rubber/metal composite -- I didn't want to cut it through the metal part in any event.

Thanks guys, but my gasket kit comes with gaskets that kinda are made for the half circle and the flat areas under the timing cover, i took a razor blade and cleanly cut the rubber section flush with the block. ill use the gaskets that came in the kit. thanks for the help!
