Pete M Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 since the yards around me pop large holes in the pans to drain them, we're going to get a new one for the truck I'm helping fix up. gotta keep the price reasonable, but if the cheap ones don't seal, they don't serve any purpose. thoughts? I will be using a one-piece rubber gasket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I’ve never had an issue with the cheap pans. Before installing, I check the gasket surface with a straight edge and “adjust” if necessary. I always use the expensive, blue Felpro gasket too. The one piece is awesome with a little RTV in the corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I'd be cautious buying online. Much more likely to get beat around by a courier in transit. Haven't heard of any issues with parts store pans though. But if it doesn't seal on the initial install just RTV both sides of the gasket. The next guy might hate you for it, but how soon do you plan on pulling the pan again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 There are so many bolts in that pan you’ll be fine. A good permadry gasket will take care of most any minor imperfections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
