Oil system myths

Chrysler DID use them. I can’t think of a single small block I took apart that I knew was virgin that did not have that gasket.

So Chrysler did use it. Did it make it into every engine? I don’t know.

But the guy from Melling said to use it.

I will post a link on Friday (or sooner if it hits sooner) so anyone who wants can listen for themselves.

Interesting. I've never seen a small block with a gasket, neither did my Dad. I've pulled apart a few that were for sure virgin and they never had it. Must have been one of those things that either got installed or didn't.
