Awesome. Thanks, Bill. *Exactly* what I was after! How wide of a bead should I be putting down? Looking at Keith's Targa build pics, the bead looks really fat:
http://www.targamiata.com/diary.php?UID=136 Is there any danger of too much squishing out to the inside of the pan? Should I let it set up for a day with light tension on the bolts before torquing it down? When I removed the pan, I found some pieces (strands) of what looked like white sealant hanging from the oil pickup screen. Pan looks like it's never been off before, so I'm wondering what that might have been. Whatever it was I really hope none of it got past the screen!
