I did get the pan on today. Ended up using the thicker cork end gaskets.

Earlier I set the rail gaskets and rubber end gaskets in place with no sealer and gently tightened the pan bolts and screws. I was able to insert a 22 gauge wire between the curve of the oil pan and the rubber seal, so determined there was no seal.

I coated every thing with #2 permatex and applied a little extra at the joints between the pan rail gaskets and the cork end gaskets.

It may be a couple of weeks before I run the engine to check for leaks as there is still lots to do and I’m still waiting on lifters from Egge
