Do I have to seal the oil pan with mount?
and it seems that if I don't do it with mount, it's very likely that the oil pan will leak. just wondering if it's true.
I'm doing this engine for a friend overseas, and I got the short block done but I don't have the FD mounts. should I just ship it without RTV, then re-apply it when his garage overseas get the engine? or I can just seal it up without the mounts and call it a day ?

to the question, yes the mounts should be installed at the same time as the oil pan is installed. if you seal only the pan then it has a much higher chance of leaking and the mounts will not torque down properly if installed after the sealant has cured.
if someone sends an engine without the mounts i request they send them or i ship the engine without the pan installed and it is up to them to seal it properly.
