As the title states, can I get away with just using silicone all the way around the pan or is it vital that I have those rubber seals in place at the two ends of the oil pan on my Miata?
Pulled my motor out last night to swap pans to one with a bung welded on for my oil drain and would like to have it all together and back in the car by tonight, but I can't get those seals until a couple days from now. If I can just do silicone it'll make life a lot easier.
