...that is the question.

I have gaskets for the oil pan, but I had a rebuilder tell me not to use a gasket on the oil pan. I have always been of the belief that if a gasket is available, it should be used. So, should I gasket the oil pan, or just use silicon?

EDIT - I just went to the 6.2 forum and someone had posted the same question there. I still want this question to stand to see what the rest of you think. The response in the other forum is that the gaskets will leak. I have 80K miles on the last engine that I rebuilt and it isn't leaking yet.
