The isolating oil pan gasket contains 12 integral
locating/retaining cones which lock into holes
drilled through the oil pan rails, and two large
rectangular tabs located directly across from
each other on the inner perimeter of the gasket.
The cones keep the gasket properly located
during oil pan installation, and the rectangular
tabs serve as a starting point for locating the
gasket on the oil pan rail.
When servicing an E7 engine with an isolating oil
pan arrangement, avoid using an engine stand
that supports the engine on the oil pan rail while
the oil pan is still installed. Damage to the oil pan,
pan gasket or the isolators may result. If this type
of stand must be used and the oil pan is to remain
installed, support the engine on the pads
provided at each corner of the cylinder block as
shown in Figure 6-56.
