and for the love of god dont use High Temp orange RTV for it.

All you need is black RTV for Oil pans, Make sure both surfaces are clean and dry, throw a bead on it, circle the bolt hole's, bolt it down and let it cure.

Dont tighten it down all the way. Put pan on thread bolts in evenly around pan so rtv is touching the block let it sit for a little while so the rtv gets more rubbery/solid then torque the bolts down. That way all that rtv you put on doesnt just squeeze out the sides.

I assume the temp range of the regular black RTV is fine for an oil pan gasket. The orange is probably significantly more expensive and would be overkill.
