like it says I replaced the oil pan gasket with a piece of #%% cork gasket from autocrapzone and sure enough it started to leak again. could this be a engine seal or something else? The leak is right under the stupid flywheel shield so its really hard to see and replace. Have to remove the center bar to get to the oil pan. Any ideas
thanx for the help guys!! |

ok we live and we learn. I took the oil pan off today. scraped all the rtv off and wiped it all down. The oil pan has noticable dimples at bolt holes is this from someone over torquing or are they supposed to be like that? Also any technique tips someone could offer up so I dont ever have to do this again! I know I should of planned to replace oil pump and stuff at the same time but just couldnt afford it right now. What else should I look at with the pan off? THANX
