...you know me Mik, just don't have enough of that dodgy she'll be right streak in me yet...I'm getting better at it though!

Finally going to get back to the Datsun after a month or so away.....

Picked up some Loctite Blue Maxx to seal the sump, what if anything do you smear on the two rubber seals (the front and rear oil seals).

I was thinking of using Permatex #3 on both sides of the oil seals - but run the loctite blue gasket maker up to the flat bits on the sides of the rubber oil seals if you know what I mean.

I had a close look at the two rubbers seals at the ends of the sump removed - I couldn't see any evidence of any liquid gasket on them...so maybe nothing is the answer on what to use - only concern is the FSM says to apply liquid gasket material.

Page EM-7
"Apply liquid gasket to oil pump gasket and rear oil seal retainer gasket." - but from the diagram is could just be on the flat ends of these rubber seals...
