Re: 37 Six oil pan

My practice when replacing an oil pan is to use adhesive on the gasket's pan side only and a light coating of grease on the gasket's engine side. The adhesive allows the gasket to stay in place and the grease will allow the pan to slide when installing and not damage the gasket. This method may make it easier for the next person when they remove the pan because the gasket will stick to the pan and not the engine. Also, make sure the pan's flange is straight and dimples caused by the cap screws are flattened.

Let us know what you find when you drop the pan.
