Oil pan gasket
Any suggestions as to where I can order a new oil pna gasket from? I need to replace mine, did an oil change today, notice the sweating oil on the pan, so I know the gasket is going on it....

mazdatrix?

Unless you're set on doing so, I wouldn't use a gasket. Dimple the sealing surface of the pan, and just use sealant.
|
If you do a search, you will find that the preference is to repair the leak with no gasket. Most suggest using "Hondabond" or "The Right Stuff"

Honestly man, if it's not dripping on the ground, you might want to hold off. An oil pan job with the motor in the car is *not* fun for those who havent done it before.....
Also, Adam C is giving you good advice. Along with an oil pan brace and moroso stud kit, that's the best way to stop the frequent oil pan leaking FDs experience in my opinion..... |

DO NOT USE A GASKET, use permatex's "the right stuff" and peen at least one of the mating surfaces. If you don't work on cars much, I would suggest taking it to a specialist mech.
If you do, this is also a great thread: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...he+right+stuff I did this in an evening, but I do this kinda stuff for a living... It can be done by partially dropping the subframe, but you will still need a front end alignment. |
X-10 on the advice above. Also ford deisel silicone in a caulking tube is very good, its used to seal there truck motors that take a lot of abuse.

^ Agreed on all points above. Use Permatex "The Right Stuff" (available at Autozone/Pepboys/etc...) ...
Also, just to reiterate what Rich said, get a Moroso stud kit. It makes it a LOT easier to make sure you got all the bolts in witout cross threading. You can get the stud kit from Summit (www.summitracing.com). - Andy |
