Oil Pan gasket - Page 2

Bandit · 11-02-2008, 03:01 PM

Use a straightedge next time to see if the pan's warped, I had a hell of a time doing mine, jacked the engine off the mounts all bc of that stupid crossmember thats welded in there.

before replacing the gasket, try tightening the bolts first!! I'd bet they are loose

I know its a different year but i just pulled my pan off to replace a piston. I jacked up the frame on the drivers side til the front tire was off the ground, (4x4 diff) then i loosened the motor mounts and took the trans bolts ot of the crossmember. I then lifted the engine up enough to pull the pan, i didnt have to remove my pickup tube either. The pan went on easy and the gasket wasnt bumped around either. :thumbsup

I am sending it to my dads buddy that is a diesel mechanic and he is going to figure out what it is and fix it for me.

Yea I checked the bottle and it was less than half full so I emptied it. My leak looks a lot worse than it really is, it starts in the front of the motor and as I drive it it gets all over the bottom of the motor then leaks from like ten diffrent spots about 5 drops that spread out and look like silver dollar sized spots in the morning. If I move it after sitting all night it only leaks from the front.

leaks are always worse than they look cuz of the properties of oil. a drip of oil makes a big footprint when it hits the ground, same goes for yer motor. seriously before ya started you shoulda did some serious degreasin before ya took anything apart. the only way to be sure where it's comin from is to fiercely degrease the motor and pay fierce attention to where it's comin from afterward.
