I'm replacing the oil pan gasket this weekend on my 292. It has always leaked at the back by the rear main seal retainer area, and I'm pretty sure it's not the rear main seal.
The sealing surface of the retainer looks flat and flush with the block rail, and the pan holes aren't badly dimpled.
I'm looking for some advice on gasket sealer use. What kind seems to work well and so forth. I have a Best Gasket composite gasket on hand. Any advice is welcome!
