Trick/tip, in car oil pan rear gasket install?
Well, the honey bunny got in on the action cleaning the pan up. It was great working with her again.
I found some 3M yellow adhesive and some JB Weld sealent to try. We started out on my overcrowded bench and set forth to work, er, um, play...
The yellow 3M was excellent in sticking to the gasket and holding it up. A basic Mr. gasket oil pan seal was used. The 15ft.lbs. torque spec started to split the side gaskets before the torque wrench clicked. Very annoying! The end seals acted fine.
Tomorrow! Oil and leak test. Plenty on my plate to do. I won't get the car down on all 4's IMO but I'll try. Thanks for all the replies guys!
