So ok I'm in the process of rebuilding my motor and I was torqueing down the oil pan and I'm using a beam style torque wrench, the gasket deform after the torque value was reach which is 9ft lbs. Now will this leak? Should I back off a little on just that one bolt?, and the other two on the other side because when I did that it went back in a little.

 

It will most likely leak. I would redo that, I had the same thing and I thought it would be fine if I just loosened it but it didn't work. I hate oil pan gaskets -___-"

 

Redo it huh? Can I reuse the gasket again, even if I used hondabond at the four conners?

 

Yes you can reuse the gasket. It doesn't look that far off. Don't put any sealant on it make sure both block and pan have no oil,clean with brake cleaner. Also make sure not to get any oil on the gasket and retry torqueing it doown.

 

why no hondabond? i used hondabond on both sides of the oil pan gasket, not much just a thin layer

 

Well I think he has a moroso. And mine would leak all the time when I used bond or it would squish out. Like above

 

lol i never even saw those pics. dont take my word, i was thinking stock pan

 

I do have a moroso pan, I used a torque wrench like the beam style one and the bolts still deformed the gasket, maybe I'll do 5-6 ft lbs.
