The T-shaped gasket joints are located at the connecting joint of the engine block to the flywheel housing and at the connecting point of the engine block to the front cover assembly.Adaptable To: The 230-6352 Silicone Sealant is used on the T-shaped gasket joints of the oil pan in the above engines. The 230-6352 Sealant is currently serviced by the 4C-9612 Silicone Sealant.
