I have a 96 explorer 5.0 awd. I have replaced the timing chain cover gasket around 15,000 miles ago. I cleaned it all up spotless and used a new timing cover at that time. I used a light coat of rtv on both sides of the felpro gasket. All torqued down and allowed to sit 24 hrs before fluids. Noticed the coolant ports are leaking at the block again. Wondering if there's a better way to seal the cover to block, maybe no gasket and using the right stuff or ultra black RTV? Maybe using the right stuff and the felpro gasket? That's basicly what I did last time but RTV, and it leaked again. Don't want to do this again in a couple yrs. Thanks
