When I rebuilt my engine I had a horrible leak that even a new gasket wouldnt' completely fix. So what I ended up doing was using a ton of silicon along with the gasket. Just about all of them leak a little bit, but if you go crazy with the silcon you won't have any leakage.

 

Go to autozone and get the black gasket sealant. put it on both sides of the gasket and put a pretty good amount on it. That'll definately keep it from leaking.

 

Yeah i agree with shift7! I was going to say the same thing

 

nah, dont use the gasket, just a lot of silicon (about 70-80% of the tube) and make sure theres a think layer in the back were the mounts go

Don't know if this will help or not, but when i did my pan gasket i first tried to just loosen the sub-frame and slide the pan out,, waste of time. I could have just dropped the subframe and done it right the first time instead of wasting all that time fighting and prying on it.

 

I take a center punch, and just tap small like craters to the oil pan and bottom of the engine, this way the silicon will not slip away when you bolt the pan to the engine.

 

Use the GASKET! but seal it like shift7 said

 

Deffinatley need alot of silicone. Also, Staff's Auto makes a metal oil pan gasket.

 

do not use the gasket. i was informed by a rotary mech.(rick) that the stock motors never came with gaskets. only time he saw gaskets was with remans, like mine. i just did my oil pan gasket and just used THE RIGHT STUFF by permatex. worked great. no gasket. a gasket just makes two possible points of leakage, not one. if you do it right with the sealeant/silicone then it will be just gravy.mmmmmm
