Getting ready to reassemble my 62' Slant 6 and wanted some wisdom from the experienced on ways to make sure that I don't have leaks from the oil pan and/or the timing cover. Much thanks - gpk1961

Check the Articles page. Lots of cool stuff over there.
Here’s a link:

I recommend Doc’s book too.
https://www.amazon.com/Chrysler-Slant-S ... 153&sr=8-1
I used this book as a guide and was able to complete my first slant rebuild with confidence.
Good luck with your project!

Is the engine out and on a stand? if so It goes together easiest with the timing cover assembled first.

- Start with a helping of RTV - I like Permatex Grey (but any flavor will probably do)- placed on all of the cork/paper side wall junctions to the rubber ends - especially in the corners.

- Set the pan on / Start all bolts loose but do not tighten or torque to spec yet.
Let the RTV "flash off" for 4-24 Hours

- Final Torque the pan Down
- It's possible you may still have a leaker in the Lower RF Front Corner.. By the Timing Cover.
- You can RTV over the outside of the Pan to Timing cover Junction here if you want.

I am sure others have some sage advice and techniques that they prefer and may chime in here.

Best of luck.

Greg

Thanks Greg - yes it is on the engine stand. I have the timing cover ready to go and I am waiting for an oil pickup tube.
It had very minor leaks before the rebuild and I am hoping to keep it that way! Thanks for the tips! gpk1961
