Looks like 5900 is abundantly available at the one place I did not look - the p-dealer. Spoke to my SA and it's what Porsche uses/recommends for the oil pan so the project is back on and I'm going with Loctite 5900.

Loctite 5900 is impossible to find locally. I tried Advanced Auto, Auto Zone, Sears, Home Depot, and Walmart. I did, however, locate a tube of Permatex Ultra Grey at AutoZone. Both 5900 and Ultra Grey are Oxime silicone based so I'm going to get a tube of the available Ultra Grey. Also seems that Ultra Grey will fully cure in 24 hrs vs. 1 wk for 5900... good to finish up the project sooner but I wonder if the slower curing 5900 is better somehow. If anyone know more about these sealants please chime in as sealants are not my area of expertise. TIA.

Looks like Porsche used 5900 originally. It wasn't too bad to remove. Used a box cutter blade to remove the bulk of the old sealant, a brass cleaning brush to remove whatever was left, then Isopropyl to finish up. BTW, thanks for the advice regarding the mock assembly. It was a tight fit but it all came together in the end. Now I'm just waiting for the 5900 to cure overnight before I check the seal in the morning.

FVC oil pan experience
just curious if you had actual experience with this product that you would share? I'm seriously considering do this to my 987.1 boxster S.
also, has the additional 3/4 qt oil capacity caused any problems with you car's oil level sensor system?
cheers!

The FVD oil pan and baffle is working well. I still need to test it out on a track but on the streets there has been zero issues. The oil e-gauge is working properly. It's a nice piece of hardware. I know you have a Boxster but here's a DIY write-up on the 997.1 which should give you an idea of the installation process. GL and let us know if you end up with one. https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...l#post10245275
BTW, Rhonda at FVD is great to deal with...
