So to save some time I did install the rear main first ***the first time*** but due to some dunce from Oklahoma, the rear main housing had a hole that was stripped, so obviously I had to replace it. At this point I had already installed the oil pan so I tried to reinstall another rear main housing without messing up the oil pan and what do you know, the gasket slipped inside of the pan and now the pan won't come off. Instead of using RTV on the pan I used this Permatex spray gasket and it seals pretty well apparently! Any tips on how to remove it without damaging the gasket or anything? I'll leave some pics of what the oil pan gasket looks like under the rear main. If I can just forget it since it's sealed up so nice apparently that'd be cool, or just throw some RTV in there :lmao:. Anything helps! Thanks!

    I feel like that's the case of not knowing to drag your finger along it after dispensing it and removing excess to get that thin layer you're talking about.

Yeah, or just overusing in general.

Gotta admit, I did that the first time on my oil pan and it even leaks, so that's getting fixed at some point. Like I said, you live and learn!
