Default Re: Self sealing pan gaskets

I did change them with the motor in the car.


First I cleaned the sealing surfaces thoroughly, absolutely free of oil or dirt.
Then I used super glue (the gel type) in 3 or 4 small spots to hold the gasket to the block, use only enough for the gasket to hold to the block.
With every gasket in place, I put the oil pan on my chest while laying under the car and inserted the first 2 bolts. Doublecheck that the oil pump is in place!
After that it was just putting all the bolts in and torquing them properly.
I did not use any kind of sealer, only the cork gaskets.



Absolutely leak free since.
