Really? How hard can it be... Installing new gaskets on oil pan and was putting in the bolts, move to the other side and its not lined up. Guess I'll loosen the other side and try to beat it with a rubber mallet. Looking underneath it seems front passenger side the pan is more forward.

Re: Really? How hard can it be... Try putting in a couple bolts on each side first loose...it should line itself up...no need to beat the heart of your car.

Re: Really? How hard can it be... was it the pan you took off prior to replacing the gasket? do not tighten bolts on one side till all are started for the whole pan. good Luck and Merry Christmas!!

Re: Really? How hard can it be... Use pan dowels, start all the bolts before tightening

Re: Really? How hard can it be... I usually am able to line up the oil pan holes with the holes in the block by levering a drift punch in the holes to get them to line up. Once a few of the pan holes are lined up and a few pan bolts are loosely screwed into place, the rest of the pan bolts go easily into their proper places. The engine splash aprons are another challenge that are handled about the same way.

Re: Really? How hard can it be... Thanks, guys! That was my next thought in the process. Have a wonderful Christmas!

Re: Really? How hard can it be... I usually put the gasket sealer on the pan lip with the gasket and let it set up, or tack up to hold the gasket in place, THEN put it on the engine!

Adhere the gasket to the BLOCK, with the little tabs extending into the groove, for the cork strip. Start feeding the cork in @ each end & in the middle. Put a dab of good sealer at the intersections of the corks & the pan gaskets. To get the corks in requires extreme patience & finesse. This is where YEARS of experience & practice PAYS OFF:D:D BUT, I must remember, one of you might be a BRAIN SURGEON, who could "REPAIR" mine, when I BROKE IT---LOL Bill W. |
Re: Really? How hard can it be... Make sure your splash pan in your oil pan is fully seated. That might push things out of shape. Get some help with that pan. Not an easy job. Merry Christmas.

Re: Really? How hard can it be... I have always used a smear of grease on gaskets to help hold them in place while adjusting the pan and starting the fasteners. It's not rocket science but it works for me! :)

Re: Really? How hard can it be... Dont smear sealer all over the side rails.. For many reasons
