Moroso Blue 727 pan gasket

Well to my disappointment, I fully checked the trans rail for any gouges and imperfections before installing The Moroso pan and Blue gasket.

Put 6 quarts of Type-F in prior to start-up. It sat about 22 hours and got a drip or two. Damn depressed!

I have never used any type of sealer on the trans side of the gasket so not surprised it was clean and true and had not leaked before 2012. It did not even hang the blue shop towel wiping it down. The seepage is slow so checked some more and no fluid above the rail at all except for the center part line from bell housing face to the center of pan rail. It has some casting flash very near the rail. Put some more torque on the pan bolts in the front. Cranked and warmed and in neutral needed another 1-1/2 quarts to be between the fill line. I expected this and hope a bit more torque corrects it. Guess I will see tomorrow! I hope this is not a case issue!
