Joe:
We fill the gap completely with the anaerobic sealant. After cleaning all su=
rfaces well I use the tapered nozzle they supply, cut it to fit into the tra=
pezoid and then put a washer over the end to seal it up. Then I use one of t=
hose toothpaste tube keys to squeeze the tube, forcing the sealant gel into t=
he trapezoid. Keep squeezing until I see the gel come out of the chamfered a=
rea at the base of the rear main cap. That way I know the trapezoidal volume=
 is full.

It would probably be easier to buy a cartridge and put it in with a caulking=
 gun, but that=E2=80=99s kinda pricey (~$50).

One regular size tube will do two engines. They get very hard to squeeze, ev=
en with the key, when they get near the end.

Because it is anaerobic, the gel won=E2=80=99t set up near the oil pan surfa=
ce if you leave it exposed to air. Covering it with a piece of tape works we=
ll. You can then peel the tape off when you put the oil pan on. Or install t=
he pan immediately. I have laid some =E2=80=9CUltra=E2=80=9D black rtv right=
 on top of the uncured aerobic gel, then put on the oil pan (with or without=
 gasket as you prefer) and had it all set up just fine.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Phil
