RTV sealant is popular with many engine builders, and it's the preferred sealing method by many OEMs.
Check That Clearance
“Be sure to use OEM quality gaskets or equivalent. Moroso offers a full line of 1-piece reusable silicone gaskets for most OEM applications,” says Schroeder. [links]
Consider the Ford 7.3-liter Powerstroke engine that comes from the factory with silicone sealant. Moroso offers a new reusable oil pan gasket that features steel inserts in the bolt holes to prevent the gasket from being overtightened.
It’s not a trick question, or a foolish one. There are schools of thought from both logical and convenience perspectives that give credence to both procedures. But the question is posed to raise awareness that installing the oil pan is not a simple matter and deserves proper attention when the time is right. To that end, EngineLabs worked with Moroso to compile a number of useful tips to ensure the lifeblood of your engine is secure. The focus will be on wet-sump systems, but some tips can be applied to a dry-sump.
Our experience is that many leaks are directly traceable to poor gasket quality. – Thor Schroeder, Moroso
We also advise you to replace the front crankshaft seal too.
Reassembly is, for the most part, the opposite of disassembly.
Always use new gaskets.
A thin film of Mercury Perfect Seal on all gaskets works well. more
On the port side of the engine block you will find the water cooled voltage regulator/rectifier.
Remove the two yellow/red stripe stator wires from the regulator/rectifier. Look how the wires
lead to the stator. You will see a wire retainer near the timing chain cover that holds the
wires in place. Make note of the retainers position and remove the retainer. more
The aluminum circulation pump impellar was located on the front end of the camshaft.
This required a way to separate the cooling system from the engines crankcase area.
The cam passes through two seals, which are press fit into the timing chain cover. more

Have 2006 Bayliner 288 classic with 5.7 MPI Bravo 3 . and oil pan drip.
Mechanic says boat has to come out of the water and engine removed to replace leaky plug / oil drain hose.
Meanwhile I change the diaper every week.
I tried the mirror and flashlight but really can't see clearly. It may be the hose. but can't get to it to fix.
Meanwhile I am catching all of the oil in a pan I placed under the engine and boat is usable. but a pain in the arse to go threw all of the monkey motion of capturing leak, replenishing oil, etc. more
