Hey guys,
Anyone here have an an aluminum oil pan? Any of those people have one that doesn't have a leaky gasket?
I've never been able to get the stock gasket to work well with my pan. Even after thread repair on some stripped threads in the block, I can't get a good seal.
I think part of the problem is that the stock cork gasket is much skinnier than the lip for the aluminum one. The aluminum pan also has a much thicker lip.
Ideally I'd like to get a silicon one, but no one is making them as far as I know. I spoke to Justin https://www.jmwagnersales.com, who makes the custom tr4/6 silicon valve covers, but it's really not worth it to him to fabricate.
Anyone have any suggestions for a home-made solution or tips for getting the cork gasket to not leak?
Cheers,
Gavin
