Default LT-1 (92) engine front cover seals?

The manual doesn't call for anything, but do you use a sealer/gasket sealer/ RTV/etc, on the oil seals when installing them in the cover? How about the cover gaskets, do you use anything or just install dry?

I guess we just lubricate them a little and press them in.

I don't know about the cover gasket, but the opti and waterpump seals just press in. Just did that this weekend. :cheers:

Go to your GM dealer and get some of the grey sealant they have. Great stuff but expensive ($12). Put it on both sides of the front cover gasket. No leaks!

That's exactly what I'm going to do. The LT-1 guru there says that's what they do. Expensive stuff! :eek: It's the same stuff you need at the corners of the oil pan.

Thanks :cheers:
