Message: [QUOTE="Marty, post: 22156, member: 602"] Yes, IH Gray is what you use on the oil pan and front cover. I usually buy the front cover gasket kit from IH, it comes with everything you need. IE: I get a tube of the IH gray from either Ford (small can) or IH (big can) and use the caulk gun. 1,000 times easier then pushing it out by hand. FWIW, the small tube from Ford is considered enough to do IH Gray everywhere it belongs on the engine (Oil Pan, Front Cover, Plenums, Rear Cover, etc...) Plus with a 90 second time frame you're "supposed" to abide by... there is no way your hand can get enough out. I've done what you're talking about... and am actually doing it this week again. I'm putting an E99 cover on a 1996 engine though. Putting a 1996 engine in an E99 truck and the front cover is cracked where the oil cooler bolts to it. [/QUOTE]
