okay problem. i didnt build this motor.

it appears to be leaking right above the oil pan on the block. the car sat for along time so im thinking the RTV is no good it peals right off and doesnt look like its sealing for ****. . im going to re seal the oil pan. you can see the RTV on the block which is where its leaking slighty id really hate to tear it apart any advice????

havent had time to dyno or drive the car as it is a silvia k's and isnt legal.

thanks for your time!!

It's hard to tell what size the injectors are supposed to be. If they have a brand name on them, at least you'd know they were changed out. If they're still purple, 95% chance they're stock.

As far as RTV, Toyota makes the best gasket maker I've ever used. It's a bit expensive, but that stuff seals the best out of all RTV I've used, and once it sets, it's not going to chunk off or leak without a fight.

Go with him, just make sure it is black cause it's oil resistant unlike the copper that's on there.
