Hi guys I'm looking at changing my RMS on a 4.0 that's out of its bay and is being used for a 2.5 to 4.0 swap. As far as I know the rms does not leak. but it has 180k miles on it, and the engine's already out, so as dad says, 'better safe than sorry'. That being said I figure I should replace the rms while the engine is divorced from its comanche since idk the condition of the rms. So I've checked Rockauto and they have lots of options. Should I go with one-piece, two piece, brand...? I figure one piece would seal the best. I just don't know if it would be better in the long run cuz I'm pretty sure the next time I'd have to change it it'll be in the truck and a one-piece unit would be harder to remove. FYI first time changing rms. Also, going with the cheapest one-piece oil-pan seal rockauto has.

Does anyone have part nos. for the RMS with the double lip and for the one piece oil pan gasket. I' m almost ready to replace the RMS and have the oil pan off and cleaned up, just need to scrape the bottom of the block to get the rest of 2 pounds of gasket sealer the PO used when he replaced the gasket. I definitely want to use the double lip seal as my truck has 200 K miles on it (at least, speedo cable was missing when I got it). I've heard good and bad reports on the one piece oil pan gasket (more good than bad). If you have used it, please let me know what your experience was. Does it seal up better? How hard/easy is it to install? Etc. I have plenty of room to get the pan back on, even with the oil pump installed, so clearance and bumping it out of place shouldn't be a problem.
