OK guys, just ploughed my way thru most of this. I cant help but laugh when I look at the motor I'm working on at moment. It is a friends 2.7 that finally leaked so much oil I was embarassed for him and offered to strip down. About to reassemble this w/end. But the Japanese have got you all beat. This car came via Japan.
There they seem to use just one sealant - some marine grade silcone (white).
You can dispense with the rest, just one large tube does all.
Crankcase halves (was going to take pic, camera flat), nose bearing, crank seals , rocker bushes, all gasket surfaces.
Apparently you just ladle it on with a spoon.
I bought a 930 in via Japan, and same story - same white gunk everywhere.
The 2.7 has about a pound of black RTV underneath to stop spot leaks, my 930 had red instead of black for spot leaks.
So, if you want monochrome, go for white.
If you like variety, red, white and black is available.
Life can be simple. If you are Japanese.
Regards
Alan
