Default Re: New Type Oil Pan Gasket Installation

I just installed those and their instructions are a joke! It says to use no sealer. Ok, how do you hold the gasket against the block, and then install the rear main seal gasket against the pan gasket? Oh, I know, follow the instructions in the Les Andrews Mechanics Handbook. It says, "First rotate the engine upside down"!! Grrrrr.

Doing all this with limited space while the wife holds the oil pump from falling down. I used gasket sealer! I don't know if it will seal, but it saved a marriage!
