I replaced the oil pan because my old original one was kinda banged up and I couldn't get the dang plug to seal up. I tried those oversize thread plugs and nothing worked.
Anyway, I got a new pan and when I got ready to set it up in place, the end seals were just giving me a fit. They did not want to stay in place at all. I put a dab of RTV (Permatex Ultra Black) in the corners and a thin smear everwhere else. I had luck with this method the last two times I sealed up the pan, but this is the first time I did it with the engine in the car. Before it was on the engine stand. It looks like the rear end seal sliped out of place just a tad, but most of it is still in there.
I giving it a full 24 hours to set up and going to find out tonight if it seals good when I fill it up with oil and fire it up. If it leaks, F-it, the motor is coming out.
Whats the difference between the one piece seal? Anyone else have issues like that with the four peice setup?
