Yes. Here is what it looks like if you don’t let it cure kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gaqdgdKrldGreYE.htmlsi=At2C-D8jARGoy9bs

What do you mean by “filling?”

I’m glad to hear that. You may also enjoy the other videos on this car here: kzfaq.info/sun/PLIjr-uSYDZi6cuomOpHL7rGWNEbQUmbvy

lol. Making his own gasket. They used to be made of cork, so I guess it was close enough ha ha.

Year late but I've used gasket maker spread in layers on a piece of cardboard or smooth plastics. Then using a cricket cutter and cutting perfect gaskets with it for old shit like my 85 200x

Cant i just do both?

@@christiandy9547 it's not recommended. That's what I thought also.

@@Beliefacy ooop my dumbass just did both rn 😂😅

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Feel free to see my playlist on the same car G35 / 350Z Infiniti/Nissan kzfaq.info/sun/PLIjr-uSYDZi6cuomOpHL7rGWNEbQUmbvy

yeah, without smearing the gasket maker, but it worked great and no leaks!

You ever figure this out?

Thank you. That’s a nice thing to say

It’s always a good idea to use a torque wrench. It’s only m 6.5 foot pounds (most foot pound torque wrenches start at 20 so you may need to get a smaller inch pound torque wrench. Here is one from my Amazon affiliate referral link www.amazon.com/eTORK-Magnetic-Torque-Wrench-lb/dp/B0BZ6D65JD?crid=2RCOOFYBWNNV3&keywords=1/4%2Binch%2Bpound%2Btorque%2Bwrench%2Bcobalt&qid=1695610218&s=hi&sprefix=1/4%2Binch%2Bpound%2Btorque%2Bwrench%2Bcobalt,tools,136&sr=1-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=2004047-20&linkId=8c72b64768bfb8ec5a4e2ccb7f2bb300&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

I used the rtv sealant only. It’s been great

Its usually one or the other. If you find imperfections in the pan I have spread a small coating on the pan as well- only enough to spread with a finger, but it has to be an equal coating all around

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thanks for the reply I was looking at other threads and I’m seeing the same answer. I’m going to do this job during the weekend. Going to use the permatex and follow this video, thanks for the upload! Very very helpful.

@@TrueBullsfan23 mine is still doing fantastic. No leaks! just don’t bend the pan on removal and don’t chip the paint on the inside or you’ll have to remove all the paint. Good luck!

Why do you need to remove all the paint if it chips on the mating surface? Won’t an extensive cleaning of the inside of the pan clear any possible paint chips?

I have had great luck with Permatex

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage no, i mean Permatex makes a Optimum line and Ultra line.

There is also an upper gasket for the block as I recall. That’s more involved disassembly and not as important as the oil is not always around that seal.

No, the gasket itself is all that is necessary if you have it. But if the pan is at all bent a small layer of rtv may also help

💯

Yes

It could be cross threading

Take off the plastic bottom cover of the car first. It’s a bunch of 10mm bolts, then you should see the pan as shown in this video. It’s part of the engine, so don’t go too far back or it will be the transmission pan

Thanks it ended up being the transmission oil pan also another question what kind of transmission oil you use for it also for the motor thanks

The pans tend to bend when being removed and gasket maker fills in the gaps better

Is the leak all over the oil pan? What color is the leak?

so what is it

Black rtv is mostly for oil and works great. I’ve had it on the diff of my mach 1 for 10 years without any leaks. Gray is more for timing covers and parts with a lot of vibration. The reason not to use brake parts cleaner is if it’s a painted surface that will flake and get junk stuck in the oil pickup tube.

On your next oil change look for any signs of paint debris

The pan is probably bent. On my other G35 I put it flush on a metal box and hammered it flush 😉 Make sure to remove all paint since it will chip it

Danny Johnson’s Garage thank you I will check it out !

For gasket maker to cure? That’s what it recommends. It says so right on the box
