Default Pan Gasket Install

1930 A tomorrow I will install the pan. The engine is in the car. Advice: Do I tack the gasket to the pan or the block or both. I am using this Permatex High Tach adhesive. The Les Andrews book says on both sides. That seems pretty sticky.

Yes and yes. And be sure to butter up the area around the cork seal pretty good - and watch as you wind the screws in that the square cork doesn't "squirm" out.

And careful on the torque specs listed in the Les Andrews book if you're going by those for the pan. Someone in our club mentioned it's got a missprint of 20 ft/lbs when it should be something like 5-9 ft/lbs.

Thanks, Heneste. This is good to know about the torque. I have the Les Andrews manual right here and he say 20 ft. lbs.

Cement the gaskets to the block, then use grease on the pan side.
Next time the pan is removed, the gaskets should stay good.
