Technical Oil literally everywhere.

depends what year it's for

 

When I installed the one piece in my 51, I took the motor mount bolts out jacked up the motor from the frame and slipped wood blocks in there to hold it in place. Removed the pan cleaned and scraped everything, ( a real friggin pain doing it on the ground under the car) and used the one piece gasket, it came with these cool snap locks to hold the gasket in place and the pan snapped in over the snap locks and held it all together. worked out real nice.

 

Well just sat down after a long day. Installed new timing cover gasket, balancer seal, water pump gaskets and one piece pan gasket.

Went for a test drive, few burnouts up to 4500rpm and no leaks. A big relief. My pan gasket came with those snap locks I think those suck!! Lol

Thank you everyone for input and help. Some stuff was mentioned that I didn't think about. Atleast now I know I'm good at replace the front gaskets 3 times in 3 days.

 

I call "FACE"!

 

So D-man why didn't ya like the snap locks?

 

I like the idea, they didn't seem to work as they were described Held the gasket out of shape and seemed like the snaps weren't strong enough to hold the pan

 

I find if you use cut bolts like what we use to locate transes at the 4 corners of the block the gasket will stay put till the pan is in place then remove them and use the bolts , or just use studs around the pan . I prefer to stud the block as the gasket stays put till the pan is in place .
