Sealing Oil Pan Red Permatex Vs. Ultra Grey Options

[rave2n]

Just curious for some insight before I seal these oil pans this evening.

I've purchased high temp red permatex for the oil pans, but I've been reading around to use the Ultra Grey. No one seems to give a good reason behind such, so I figured I'd inquire with you folks.

Lets here some reasoning!

Please don't say use Toyota FIPG or whatever it is.

Guess we'll find out if I screwed the pooch in a couple months when I drop it in...

That must be directions for another engine Galcobar.

On the 3sgte there is certainly not 16 bolts, or 4 nuts. Or 48 in. lbf required.

If I recall correctly there is 8 smaller bolts, 4 larger ones, about 6 allen head bolts, and 2 nuts. Oh yea, and 2 hidden smaller bolts near the flywheel side.

Also the smaller bolts require 9 ft lbs, or 109 in. lbf, larger bolts takes 15 ft lbs or 180 in. lbf

Though I did clean everything throughly, with non residue cleaners, scrapped and cleaned out the grooves. I didn't bead it. Well I did a 5mm bead then spread it with my finger, but left some space from the oil passages near the pump to not clog those puppies.
