Oil pan "Gasket" job, will it hold up.
Hey guys, I needed to change my oil pan gasket for a drift event tomorrow, but the dealer couldn't get me one until Tuesday.
In order to run I can't be leaking oil as bad as I was, so I pulled the pan cleaned both surfaces really good and used some Toyota oil pan sealant and closed it back up. One of the bolts did snap on me, I think the hole was full of sealant so I got a false torque. I don't have time to get it out so it's staying like that. Next time I pull it off I'm putting studs in, those bolts suck and the holes are hard to keep the sealant out of.
Do you guys think it will hold up for a while, or is it going to start pissing oil at the drift event tomorrow?
I recently did the oil pan on my 91' FC, but I had an OE gasket and I used grey permatex. It has held up great, i just don't know what to think about sealant only.

I've had no luck w/ oil pans. My stock pan leaked so ....
First I installed the banzai oil ban brace/ stud kit w/ Racing a beat oil pan baffle and stock gasket lightly coated w/ RTV on both sides......leaked.
Next I did away w/ the gasket and just used Permatex "The right stuff" ......leaked.
That last engine had bad coolant seals so I have yet a third opportunity to seal the pan, I guess I'll just spit on it and see how that works.....

The pan job held up, but over the whole day of the drift event I managed to lose 3 quarts of oil out of the front cover gasket. It slipped out and is what was leaking.
Time for me to pull off the front cover, put a turbo Oil pump on, Shim my OPR for 80 PSI, tap the front cover for a future turbo oil drain and buy that baffled pineapple racing pan to install. It uses o-rings to seal instead of a gasket.
