Timing Chain Cover Re-installation and Bottom Gasket Question
Hi all, so I am in the process of doing my plenum gasket on my 01 5.9 R/t due to the oil leak. I decided to do my timing chain since I am ***** deep into the engine. Question, the bottom oil pan gasket from what I am seeing is 1 piece with 4 sides and mine is looks ok not torn after taking my timing chain cover off. Now when I put my timing cover back ok what should I do? Should I lift the gasket part that is contacting the pan and put RTV below and then put RTV above and then set my timing chain cover back on? I don't want to have a leak after getting everything back together.

Problem with that is the oil pan gasket is 1 piece so I would have to drop the oil pan gasket from the bottom. only that top inch on each side and the "u" is showing. Dropping the oil pan gasket on this truck looks like a major pia. Don't think it can actually be taken off without major pain.
