Default Re: 1956 Ford Truck, C4 Tranny Pan Problems

I do have 2 more cork gaskets that's out for delivery today and I'm thinking about giving 1 more try and really trying to get the pan squared. It is leaking from the drivers side of the pan now instead of the pass. side, so I must be on the right track. What do you think? Also a friend of mine said he uses a thin bead of white grease on both sides of the gasket and he's never had a leak on his racing Mach 1, but he said the pan has to be squared. Is white grease a good idea? Plus he said he thinks the torque should only be 11-13 inch pounds not the 14 that I did?? He also said that when I torque it down from side to side and I go back to the first bolt and it's loose again, he said the pan is NOT squared and that's why I lose the tightness. Sorry for rambling.
