I tore my T case apart this evening to inspect, and overhaul it, and was a little disturbed by what I found inside. The case must have been apart fairly recently from the looks of things. I found beads of RTV at the pump pickup screen, a lot of them. It must have been blocked about 70% or so. I don't see any apparent damage, but I don't want a repeat.
My question is, will the case seal OK with a very minimal amount of RTV on the case halves? It looks like the last person in there put it on pretty thick, but all of it forced to the sides of the mating surface. There wasn't much to clean off the mating surface at all. The RTV on the inside of the case must have pinched off and ended up in the pickup. TIA.
