Message	but I've had experience with finding RTV fragments inside the oil pan. In order to prevent that from reoccuring, I didn't go too heavy on the RTV, and apparently I went too light in at least one spot. In actuality, I generally take my time with the work I do... I could've done this project much more quickly, but I took over three weeks instead. I'm just guessing an intake hose got knocked loose when I put the engine in, and I didn't use enough RTV...
