That cool, also look into the racing beat air pump block off plate, it's $10.00.

Just use a plastic puddy knife to remove the old RTV, a metal one will mar the mating surface. Also make sure when you are applying new RTV do not get it in the bolt holes.

and tighten the oil pan bolts VERY carefully, only hand snug. They can strip easily.

Tak a look in your oil pan at the amount of oil that did not drain out. You will be surprised.

a wire brush in a drill or die grinder will make quick work of any RTV, but you will need to strip the pan down to clean all the small pieces out

Hmm, Brass or steel?

I used steel in fine grade, it polished the surface clean and got the job done a whole lot faster once I removed the major stuff with a knife blade

buying a new pan is also an option; not that expensive, no clean up, no concern about the rails being straight or not, etc.
