Oil pan gasket repair part one. Just a quick view on how to re-install the oil pan with a new gasket. There probably are a myriad of different ways to do this.......
@1972FordF150 When I read the factory manual and alldata, it seems they did. RTV isnt bad if you use it right. I use red rtv to make gaskets for small engines with no leaks if you do it correctly. They just smeared it on and shoved the pan on there tight. I snug it lightly and let the rtv start to cure for a while then tighten. Would have done it with this but oil kept dripping off the crank and parts so I just threw a gasket on her. Works good!
@1972FordF150 They rtv it from the factory, I think... anyhow it started leaking near the flywheel end and right above the flex section of the exhaust, it smelled of hot and/or burning oil all the time cause of it and smoked sometimes...... got tired of it lol.
@MrBlueroads LOL, thats what I thought when I took the cover off. Oh, if I had it plugged in there would have been about 15 minutes of straight cussing, every word in the book
@More350Power Oh, Cool !
