dowel o-ring and rtv
 
guys,
there are three points on every housing that needs rtv.the two leg positions and the oil pasage at the uper side where the dowels are.
last week i assembled my motor and now i noticed that one of the four locations of the dowels that needs rtv might not have.
i noticed that the other three points have rtv squized out and the fourth is clear.how serius is if i forgot to put any?
is the oring and the hylomar
enouth?
please i need your advice. .
should i dissasemble the engine?
thanks

there is no RTV required around the dowel pins, the oring and hylomar is fine.

HI ,

thanks!

We only ever use RTV on the housing legs. Hylomar at the dowel pin landings to hold the o-rings in place.

The FSM does not say to use RTV on the o-ring, it says to use petroleum jelly

my mistake. i read carefuly the FSM and indeed there is no rtv required.
