    Anal retentave mechanic here...

    lmao... I'm sure some of you will get a kick outta this, but when installing the oil pan, you gotta put a few dabs o' selant around the crankshaft rear main bearing cap. I have 2 tubes o' sealant, would you use:

    A) 12345739 "RTV Silicone Selant"
    B) 12346141 "Assembly Adhesive"

    The tube of 'B' reminds me of the yellow cans of Kroger beer labeled "BEER". lol, only it is white...

    Or finally:

    C) Use whatever you can jackass!

    lmao... On a serious note, it seems shops are using nuttin but 12346141...
    Regards,

          lol, Ok, now I don't feel as bad (This is what alldata called for). Except

          Went to the parts desk today to see if they had a few tubes floating around. Seems to be discontinued? Guy sad it was a really old part number...

          That is when I picked up the white tube o grey goop But then I took a look at:

              They didn't have a new PN to cross-referenece to? Yeah, those PNs are from a 94 Service Manual. I'll have to see if I can update them with the link you gave (very interesting, BTW!).

                      I don't think he really took the time to. He said they use the assembly adhesive for about everything now... But. I wasn't about to go dealership to dealship to find out. It is easier to post here

                                  Thanks! Since I have a good ole brand new tube o the grey stff, I may as well give it a shot. Looks as if it's out-dated too, lol

                                  Label says "Use for sealing engine oil joints only"

                                  The information you provided will come in helpfull on the spare block I intend to build in the near future...
