Hi,
I am working on my Onan BF 4k. I went to my local Onan dealer for a pan gasket and found it is ONLY 22.50. But its not in stock so has to be ordered. Regular order is about 4 weeks but can be shipped next day for only $16. Must add CA confiscatory sales tax of only $2.50
It looks like it ONLY costs $40.00 to get a $3.00 gasket. The GOOD news it can be had.
Now the reason for this topic. The proper way to use RTV. I have never used RTV. I am going to use RTV every time I can for any gasket. Many folks say apply to 1 side and let it skin over for a few minuets and others say install right away. If you let it skin over then WHY? I have searched the internet but found conflicting answers. Besides I trust the answers I get here more.
