oil pan gasket... liquid gasket?

[Fenvy]

I was just about to buy an "OIL PAN GASKET, 240SX, Use Liquid Gasket - KA24DE" from pinnacle nissan

I am confused.... am I buying liquid gasket or the solid rubber like gasket? or is it suggesting that I am getting the solid rubber gasket but I still have to apply liquid gasket?

[Nathan]

No, it means to use a high temperature liquid gasket such as permatex ultra grey that solidifies into a solid gasket

[Mr1der]

yeah, good seal, but can get messy.

like a really hard silicone.

[Nathan]

But NOT like the silicone in boobs...that ****s totally different!

[Fenvy]

okay you lost me....

so what exactly will I be getting? a bottom of liquid gasket that I have to mold around the oil gasket?

[Mr1der]

should be a tube of stuff, remember gluing together stuff in kindergarten?

just make a good bead all the way around the rim of the pan and bolt it back on, easy man, and it won't degrade over time like a good deal of gaskets. well, not much anyway.

[Nathan]

Yep, its the ****! Go to autozone, napa, o'reilleys...ANY auto parts store and ask the dude at the counter where the "Permatex Ultra Grey" is. Once you have it in your hands, you'll understand how to use it, its like a thing of toothpaste with a nozzle. Comes out in gooey liquid form but solidified after you put the pan on. Just let it dry for a few ours.

Napa sells an actual gasket for the oil pan, but oem is gray RTV.

[Shift_Oversteer]

Yea totally use the liquid stuff it rocks.

I got the nissan liquid gasket, not that it performs any better, but its a spiffy orange color

Does it taste better than the Permatex?

Note: Stupid people, the above is a joke. Liquid gasket is not to be ingested or otherwise taken internally.

Speaking of which, radiator fluid really IS sweet it turns out and oil has no real flavor

[xyster]

brake fluid tastes horrible.

[Nathan]

Ugh, and it makes TERRIBLE hair gel too, rather smelly

Animals sure do love that sweet but deadly coolant. I always make sure I hose off the street/driveway if I spill any. My neighbors wouldn't appreciate the pile of dead squirrels, dogs and cats that would accumulate in front of my house.

worst stuff ever = gear oil especially when it's old yuck

[PhaneSoul]

lol, and i found out transmission fluid mixxed with lemonade WILL NOT SELL AT LEMONADE STANDS AS "COLORED LEMONADE"

[xxtrizz]

Are you sure coolant smells sweet and tastes sweet I like drained my cooolant and it smelt like poopoo and looked like barf. Stupid animals.

[Onizuka]

havent you ever seen a dog eat ****?

[Nathan]

Are you sure coolant smells sweet and tastes sweet

I dont know about smell (I cant seem to smell automotive fluids anymore except for gasoline...even gear oil has no smell to me) but I can definitely vouch for it tasting sweet, I was sucking some out of a tight spot with a vacuum hose when I accidentally got it in my mouth...sweet it is!

[Mr1der]

hell yeah, I love a fresh glass of antifreeze after a hard day's work.

It'll get you hammered quicker then beer!

:withstup

[navysnail]

it seriously does taste sweet. we had an astrovan on a lift in my class, when we drained it, some splashed into my mouth, it tastes like mountain dew, i swear to god!ive also tasted batery acid, that **** is absolutly horific. all acid tastes sour, like sour skittles, ect... all have acid. but batery acid, omg its so sour its like you cant even taste the sour, it just burns, i had a sore the size of a dime in my mouth for a month

btw, how did we get from oil pan rtv to tasting fluids, lol

[Nathan]

I dont know...but I can also say that gasoline has no real flavor either

[BadMojo]

It wasn't my fault.
