thanks

if using the one piece blue felpro they suggest no sealant but if you read the directions they say dab in the corners.

Use the Fel-Pro one piece gasket. A small dab of silicon in the corners is all that's suggested but I have never had one of those leak on me.

i just put in the 1 piece felpro myself. the blue snap ins make it so much easier to install.

a small dab in the corners and then snap the pan over the plastic clips then torque to spec.

no leaks yet.
