oil pan gasket

stang_racer20 · 04-30-2004, 09:01 PM

I'm going to be pulling my tranny soon to check out what, if anything, happend having found metal in the pan. With the tranny out how hard would it be to stick in a new one-piece rubber oil pan gasket w/o pulling the motor? The 4 piece one I put on there is already leaking.

Also, does it really matter whether you have a ribbed or flat oil pan surface. I asked our parts guy(knows his stuff pretty good) whether or not I could use a steel reinforced one-piece on my ribbed pan surface and he said no. That I'd have to use a pure rubber one-piece gasket. Any opinions?

did one on a lincoln 89/ 50l/was hard to do! but no tranny would have been easyer/as long as you can drop the pan low enough to loop the oil pump pick with the gasket . one piece rubber should be ok just dont over tighten the bolts!
