Replaced Oil Pan Gasket Tonight.

Well it took 2 hours and so far no leaks. The old one was really cracked. Not a hard job, but really oilly.

It took so long because it wasn't on a lift and I have 3 feet of working space and no air tools.

Re: (Caveman74)

did you only use rtv to seal it? or rtv+rubber gasket? or just the rubber gasket to seal it?
