About to install oil pan
I am ready to install my oil pan. The pan gasket over laps the ends of the white rope seal in the timing cover which is also sticking up about 3/16 of an inch above the gasket surface. what do I do next? I remember you don't cut the rope but the pan gasket over lapping I am not sure about.

Mitch beat me to it.
How was Shasta? Did you get the AC fixed on your late model?

I also never soak the rope seals in oil. I install them then squirt some oil on them and smear some grease on them just before the pan gets bolted in place. |

Just as an aside, you'll find it easier if some alignment bolts/pins/studs [2] are made to allow the pan to slide into place easier while the pan is slide up into place and other pan bolts are installed.

I never cut anything but I do put a hatpin in the rear cork to keep it from falling inside the pan. I put a SMALL dab of silicone on the rear arch to side gaskets and that's it.

I also use a dab of silicone to seal each side of the gaskets. I hold the cork in place with a little super glue - just a drop at each end is enough to prevent it moving at the wrong moment.

Re: About to install oil pan
Marc,
You want to trim the rope seal to about 1/8" beyond the surface. I prefer the "paper" gasket as it doesn't squish out, though they do need to be trimmed to fit against the front and rear seal. The rear cork seal (there are two widths) needs to be trimmed to the proper length and formed wet, allowing to dry, glued onto the rear main cap. Let me know if you need the magic seal length. See you Tuesday. A's Always Dave |

Also, working under the car, the oil pump holding tool, and the plastic pan holder guides from Snyder's made the job a whole lot easier. |
