OIL PAN GASKET
To effectively seal this sophisticated engine application, FEL-
PRO has included PERMA-DRY® molded rubber gasket(s)
in this set.
CLEAN MATING SURFACES of all foreign material including
old gaskets, RTV and oil. You may wish to use a degreaser.
Also, clean oil return holes.
CHECK PAN FLANGES for flatness. Straighten stamped
metal covers. Replace if severely distorted. Distorted cast
aluminum or plastic covers are difficult to straighten and should
be replaced.
ATTACH AND ALIGN GASKET TO PAN.
REINSTALL OIL PAN TO ENGINE. Install cap screws, finger
tight. Torque cap screws to OEM specifications. Over-torqu-
ing can distort pan and cause leakage.
TEST RUN ENGINE. Check all mating areas thoroughly to
determine that all seals hold during operation.
Important: The installation technique for this one piece
molded rubber oil pan gasket is dependant on the ar-
chitecture of the lower portion of the engine block be-
ing serviced.
On skirted engine blocks, those applications where
the oil pan mating surfaces are all on the same plane,
the oil pan gasket should be installed DRY with no
chemical adhesives or supplementary sealants.
Non skirted engines, those engines where the oil pan
side rails and the end seal surfaces are not on the
same plane, require the use of a small amount of RTV
sealant applied to each of the 4 corners on the block
side of the gasket.
