I need to fit a new oil sump on my peugeot partner 1.9 diesel van. The sump on the van is a mass of flaking rust with oil weeping from a hole on the side. When i went to pick up the new one the parts guy told me i need to apply a good quality gasket sealant,and he gave me black rtv silicone instant gasket.
He told me i need to apply the silicone to the face of the sump and only semi tighten bolts, and leave the silicone to cure for a time before i fully tighten them home. I asked him for how long do i need to leave it to cure and he didnt know. Although it does say on the canister to let it skin for 10 mins,is this long enough or are the manufacturers talking about something else. I would appreciate if somebody could tell me the right procedure thanks.
