rtv on bottom of front cover?
ive seen several comments in my searches to put rtv on the flat spot(bottom) of the front cover when putting the oil pan back on.
how many have actually done this? is it a horror story if i dont do it? the gaskets for theses motors dont look like they should require rtv, or i didnt think so.
thanks!

I always use red RTV on the front and rear covers where they meet the pan. Better safe than sorry. I believe the LS1 rebuild manual says to use sealant (GM# 12378190 or equivalent) at the intersections where the block/cover/pan all meet together .
