I have an '04 renesis (4 port automatic) engine. I can't seem to locate an
oil pan gasket for it.

Did this engine use a gasket or just silicone?? If no gasket, is it
desirable to use a silk thread such is used in Lycoming and Continental
engine
1/2s. Also what is the best sealant to use here??

Thanks

Rich


I don't know.

Silk thread won't work on a steel oil pan due to the depressions.
Go easy on the silicone as it could clog the oil intake
if some got loose in the pan. MacMaster Carr sells
sheet gasket material so you can cut your own.

Permatex "Ultra Grey" rigid high-torque RTV silicone gasket maker did the
job for me always, perfectly. Just a bit difficult to take off the oil pan
later without bending it.
