Why are you avoiding it? It works great if you use it as directed.

Just use the FIPG. That's my tip.

Oh yeah, and these... which took my about 3 seconds to find.

ive also used the FIPG on several random things, love it. works good.

Ya works great! Are you asking if you have to use Toyota FIPG, or generic stuff. I don't know the answer, but others may.

because i wanna start tom and dealer is closed..i dont know maybe i should wait do you recommend anything else besides fipg tho ?

 

[i165mk]

i should just use to seal up the oil pan right. what else gasket should i not use and use fipg to seal up.. i bought a cosmetic gasket when putting it on should use copper spray or just put it on with no spray?

Used Cometic strip the Viton off and use Copper sealer

FIPG=form in place gasket.

There is more than one, and many dealers are not very good. I went in to buy it, and got the deer in the headlight stare. And this guy is a good parts guy. It isn't that he didn't know what it was, he has never seen it, his dealer chose not to stock it, instead used generic.

where can i get 3bond 1207b

You can use Black RTV just dont over tighten the parts like the oil pan.

FIPG ..... In the ten years Ive been doing this there is one Sealent I use FIPG

What suprahooked said. You can even use a pan gasket. I've never used FIPG on these pans and had a one leak. My own is still dry after 8 years. Those who claim pan gaskets leak don't know how to prep and install them. If you're dead set on using sealant try Permatex Right Stuff. Can be had at any parts store.

 

[i165mk]

would it be better to use the pan gasket + some sealant for extra hold

With what ever you use dont over do it ,What squeezes out also goes in the engine and if you use to much it can become free and clog oil ports. I used rtv only on my oil pan and i let it set up about an hour before i installed it plus you dont what to tighten it to much.

By letting it sit you know you pretty much ruined the effectiveness of it right?

Not at all i only let it sit till it becomes tacky. My pan dont leak.
