I have been a fan of the blue permatex in small quantities. as in
put a little on your finger and rub it on the surface. It takes
almost none to work well. I have seen frod dealers smear way too
much black RTV on everything in sight.
Many times the "blue goo" has bailed me out when I needed an extra
hand to hold a gasket in place, or didn't have a gasket.
I never liked the red stuff because it is not as easy to just rub on
a minuscule amount. The good Dr. Booth didn't like any, and on MBs,
I rarely use any. I disagree on an outright ban on silicon based
sealants.
Marshall always said not to use that stuff. Guess he was right again.
Thanx for pics.

More followup:
The photo shows how obstructed the oil passage was with red RTV gunk.
still a lot of RTV on the turbo after I pulled a massive amount off.
What I pulled off can be seen in the background of the photo with the
turbo. The other photo is a closup of the rtv I pulled off.
I know there is intelligent life in Arkieland, but there sure are
some stupid ones too. (Car was from Arkieland)
