Non hardening Permetex will do it, but is hell to get off. I use a pan gasket
against a flat sheet of aluminum for a pan, with a bit of GE Silicone tub and
tile caulk. No leaks. Also good instead of exhaust flange gasket. So long as
the flange is flat. Never had a leak there either.

Lynn, are you speaking of a "flat sheet of aluminum" for an
aircraft or for an auto use? I thought that most SCCA
classes did not permit dry sump systems.

I'm suprised that "tub and tile caulk" will take exhaust
flange temperatures.
