Why do you need to use the RTV on all those gaskets? Even at the
dealership, we never use RTV on the Waterpump, Timing Cover, Valve Covers
(not required with the rubber gaskets), Oil Pan...we only use the Mopar
Gasket Sealer Spray (light coating to hold them in place). Have had no
leaks at all.
On the Diff and intake seals (front/rear)...I can understand though - it's
required there (and on the 4.7L transmission pans).

Hi James - I use the Right Stuff on just about everything. I use it on
differential covers, I've used it on valve covers and oil pans. For the oil
pan I still used the cork peices - but for the valve covers I used only the
right stuff - I got sick of cork gaskets with RTV, blowing out and leaking.
For my differentials - since I seem to have to crack them open a lot - I use
only the right stuff. Seals em up pretty damned good. Great for sealing
gasket surfaces with imperfections in them.
