The damn people wrapped it up in two priorty mail bags and their is adhesive all over it. I dont want to try something out and screw it up before I get a chance to use it, so I'm wondering what is the best way to get this crap off. Also it didnt include any directions, but I did a search and it all seems pretty straight forward and I also found this http://www.crank-scrapers.com/install.html, but where do I get the RTV gasket material from. Ive never seen it before.

>what is the best way to get this crap off?

Goo Gone

>where do I get the RTV gasket material from?

Any auto parts store. Pepboys..Autozone....Advance....Napa..

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Toney i told u i have a big tube of that stuff from the dealership. I think i still got it

oh yeah, I forgot about that. Can you bring it to work tomorrow?

Wow, I thought every car guy new of RTV... I know guys who don't use gaskets, just RTV. You can get it at any parts store.

I actualy used Gun Scrub to take the adhesive off mine (it was in my room, where I opened the package). Worked great, I was a little surprised.

well Ive never had to use it before, Ive always just used gaskets. I think I will try the goo gone, and if that doesnt work Ill look for that gun scrub stuff. Thanks guys

alcohol or wd40 should work as well.

i am using an rtv sealer to seal my oil pan-works wonders.

during my turbo install i screwed up the oil return line so instead of getting a nice whole, it turned more into a "6" hole. i put the rtv stuff on the oil return line and works well. no leaks. i'm sold on the product.

i used to work for a decal company and the best stuff to remove any adhesive is brake cleaner you just spray it on and the adhesive wipes right off. anything alcohol or petrolium based will work though.

somethin with acetone should take it off

side question.... with a crankscraper, do we still need to use a pan gasket? or does it replace it. im thinkin about buyin one for the hell of it TIA

I got a bottle of goo gone too. And i got some adhesive removal spray stuff. I can get it tonight and bring it to work tomorrow.

You don't have to use a gasket, you can go with just RV if you like.

What I did: RTV top side, slide up into place with the clearances I wanted. and loosely bolted the crankscraper to the block. Let that sit while I did other things. Maybe even overnight I don't recall. Then used the factory gasket on the bottom side and bolted the pan up.

This way the RTv was dried and hlp the crankscraper in place for the short time it was unbolted before the pan came up and was installed.

The more you use the less likely it will leak ;)
