Re: Oil Pan Gaskets
I have a note on this subject:
During my engine overhaul, I used the thick cork seals for the oil pan. After about 2000 miles, the engine got a lot of oil leakage from the rear bearing seal. About 200 cc / 100 mls.
I'm now thinkin' that a thin paper seal with sealing paste would have been better because then the rear cork seal is pressed more strongly against the rear crankshaft bearing.
