To add to that excellent previous post (gotta give props to my fellow Michiganders) -

1. And a gasket scraper, and maybe a can of PB Blaster.

2. When pulling the oil pan, be careful not to bend the pan out of shape when removing it. Also, while the pan is off, don't let any dirt or debris get into the block. I pulled the pan on a car last fall w/ the garage door open, and just then mother nature decided to let out a big gust of wind - leaves every where.....

3. nice shiny clean surface wth no oil or grease - and as little old silicone as possible. Without a parts cleaner its difficult to get all of it out, but try to anyways.

4. When putting on a new bead of silicone, keep it thin and away from the inside of the pan. You dont need much to make a good seal. If you put too much on, you'll run the risk of it oozing into the block when you reinstall the pan.

7. After the silicone has cured, pour in new oil.
